Treasure
Released
With Simon Raymonde now fully part of the band on bass and the exultant “Pearly-Dewdrops’ Drop” single under their belt, the Cocteaus approached their third full-length album hoping to make as strong a mark as Head Over Heels did — a goal that was achieved and then some. One of the absolute highlights of the band’s entire career, Treasure gained near instant classic status, a perfect showcase of Robin Guthrie’s heavily treated guitar feedback waves, Elizabeth Fraser’s just-beyond-comprehension vocals and a beautiful sense of audio drama all around.
