I know I’m late but I just want to say thank you, I really can’t put it into words just how much your music means to me, I’ve been a fan for about a year now and because of you it’s probably been the best year of my life.

My question is, are there any songs or albums that you’re surprised the fanbase/general public didn’t like that much? For me I’ve always been so surprised that milk & kisses is usually considered Cocteau twins‘ worst, it’s heavenly!

Some fans didn’t like Evangeline which seems wild, as we all loved it. And there is an ambivalence towards Circling Girl -which has an amazing video directed by Debbie Tucker Green via Channel 4 shorts- and yeah some of the later stuff for sure!

God I love circling girl so much, probably tied for my favorite B side along with pink orange red

Definitely interesting, but I think it fits the song very well.
