Cocteau Twins - Heaven Or Las Vegas

One of my favorite songs by the Cocteau Twins from their 1990 album of the same name. Cocteau Twins were a Scottish alternative rock band active from 1979 to 1997.

The band's influences at the time included Joy Division, The Birthday Party, Sex Pistols and Siouxsie & The Banshees. The band were named after the song "The Cocteau Twins" by fellow Scotsmen 'Johnny and the Self-Abusers' (who later renamed themselves Simple Minds; the song "The Cocteau Twins" was also re-penned as "No Cure"). Their debut recording, Garlands (released by 4AD Records in 1982), was an instant success, as was the subsequent Lullabies EP. They themselves remain influential to aspiring post-punk acts today.
