Cocteau Twins were a trio from Grangemouth, Scotland, active from 1979 to 1997, built around Elizabeth Fraser's soaring, often wordless vocals and Robin Guthrie's reverb-drenched guitar washes, with Simon Raymonde joining on bass and keyboards from 1983 on. Signed to 4AD, they're credited as key architects of dream pop and shoegaze, with landmark records like Treasure (1984) and Heaven or Las Vegas (1990). A genuinely admirable detail: Fraser's singing was so distinctive that Massive Attack sought her out years later, and her guest vocal on their 1998 single 'Teardrop' became one of trip hop's most iconic vocal performances. The band split in 1997 and never reunited, though all three members went on to make music individually.
