"This book examines Blue Bell Knoll to dive deep on the value of artistic ambiguity, the limits of language, and what we can learn about creative practice from this once-in-a-lifetime band. Throughout the 80s and 90s Cocteau Twins defined dream pop and opened the door for shoegaze. Robin Guthrie's reverb-soaked guitar sound and production set the template for a generation, while Elizabeth Fraser's mesmerising voice and mysterious lyricism beguiled listeners. Blue Bell Knoll was their fifth album and their first to be released on a major label in the US"--
