Cocteau Twins - Four-Calendar Café (2024 Remaster) (2024) [Official Digital Download]

Four-Calendar Café may be the most vexing album in the Cocteau Twins' discography. Following the success of Heaven or Las Vegas, it's not surprising that the group continued to explore sounds that were accessibly structured, melody-forward, and, even occasionally, lyrically transparent. Instead of leaning into Heaven's note-perfect combination of beautiful bombast and cosmic catchiness, the Twins made a record that was reliant on gentle, midtempo acoustic compositions that have a quiet, somewhat unfinished feel, which gets amplified by the somewhat sluggish sequence. The first two tracks—"Know Who You Are at Every Age" and "Evangeline"—are certainly up to the group's standard for beauty, but they're also notably low-key. It's not until the chiming, open chords of "Bluebeard" ring out that any sort of life appears to have been breathed into the proceedings.
