In a 2014 interview with The Skinny, Cocteau Twins bassist and guitarist Simon Raymonde revealed that he wrote "Frou-Frou Foxes in Midsummer Fires" about the death of his father, arranger Ivor Raymonde, who passed away while the band was recording the album "Heaven or Las Vegas." At the same time, his bandmates Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie had recently welcomed a baby daughter, and much of the album reflects the joy of new parenthood. This song, however, offers a contrasting tone. Raymonde explained that the album shifts from "Pitch the Baby," a j… read more

They pioneered the 1980s alternative rock subgenre of dream pop. The band's early work drew influence from Siouxsie and the Banshees and Joy Division. Af… read more
