The Story
Victorialand, Cocteau Twinsā fourth album, was released in spring 1986. The largely acoustic, non-percussive album was made with Elizabeth and Robin, while Simon was working on This Mortal Coil's second album. Dif Juz label mate Richard Thomas guested on tabla and saxophone. The Guardian said "Itās not quite ambient, but itās definitely not rockānāroll even by the Cocteausā standards, building on the moments of guitar shimmer from the previous yearsā EPs, while also stripping back at points to where itās nothing but a Guthrie guitar line and Fraserās voice."
