Treasure by Cocteau Twins

This album is quite unlike any other on the list that I’ve heard so far. Dreamy, etherial vocals with random, constructed lyrics in an unknown language combined with swirling guitars and synth, recalling some of the ambient, gothic gloomscapes of The Cure. Underpinning it is an occasionally incongruous drum machine making some of the tracks potentially danceable to (at least in 80s era goth discos where everyone was dressed in black and swaying softly).

The result is a shimmering marble of an album, that I’ve listened to on repeat for most of today, occasionally singing along to lines like ‘Hocus Pocus Donimoka’ or words to that effect.
