Building on the atmospheric bliss of Victorialand, released earlier the same year, it signaled a possible future for the trio, yet it was a path they’d never take again. Convening in the band’s newly built recording studio, all four got on immediately and over a fortnight, made a quite astounding record. The Moon and the Melodies has attracted a passionate fan base. Its most atmospheric tracks routinely turn up in ambient DJ sets. ‘Sea, Swallow Me’ is one of the Cocteau Twins’ most streamed songs on Spotify. Simon Raymonde believes the record’s uniqueness stems from its unpremeditated origins: 'It captured a moment in time between friends that are enjoying making music together.
