Snowbird – Moon

Hmmmmm…. this is the new album from Bella Union label owner and 1/2 of Cocteau Twins, Simon Raymonde.
I suppose I really want to like it and it is dreamy, wintery and quite pretty. But. You know what? It’s not Cocteau Twins.
And it sounds like it’s really trying to be. Apparently the vocals are supplied by his ex-girlfriend. She’s no Liz Fraser.
And I can’t get over how pretentious the band & album name are.
*Reaches for my vinyl copy of Treasure and never bothers with this again*
