Why weren't these guys bigger. they broke up and vanished for like 17 years and then came back bigger than they ever were in the 90s

I think it's underappreciated how a bad or mid album can *really* fuck with a band's fortunes / trajectory.

And Pygmalion sucked in some obvious ways. They got dropped from Creation a week after releasing it.

I'm not saying it's a bad album, I'm just saying it's way too sedate to have mass appeal.

on topic, were Cocteau Twins considered dream pop, or did they verge into showgaze? I got into them pretty recently and they are great IMO

alright - I discovered this old 90s showgaze band Ozean earlier last year, and IMO its great shit - only three songs all on the link below, from like 1993. Like almost Slowdive-tier IMO.

I would have been really into this in the 90s. and man what a hot 90s showgaze chick singer.

please let me know what you think since we are on this topic
