Love this one, such a great closer to their last album.

Milk & kisses is underrated in general, some really great songs like tishbite, half-gifts, rilkean heart, treasure hiding, ups on that one.

this version of half-gifts

Was just jamming Garlands and Treasure earlier

Are you toxic for meeeeeeee?
Will you mistreat me or betray my confidence?

The vocal production on Fifty Fifty Clown is still mesmerizing till this day

From their Otherness EP

Phenomenal group

Found on their "Influences" playlist on Apple Music, such a crazy point of reference lmao. Elizabeth Fraser matches some of the vocal inflections on this track to a T, can defo hear the inspo.

Heaven or Las Vegas classic

Funnily enough there is an interview with Liz Fraser that somewhat explains this!

"...of 'A Kissed Out Red Floatboat', she said: "I remember I felt love, a really intense love, I was romanticising about it, a romantic image of being open and having your heart open."

We can't fully understand Fraser but it's interesting to think about how the emotion was 'converted' into that particular sequence of words.

The Weeknd put me on

Cherry colored funk

so beautiful

Not relevant to Cocteau but 3 women of this group went on to do their own thing and also contributed to Kate Bush’s Sensual World album

milk and kisses and 4 calendar cafe is crazy underrated. the sounds and textures on both of those records is unmatched
