Having just turned 30, Four-Calendar Caf, was the first of two Cocteau Twins albums previously released via Capitol Records in the US.
Like most Cocteau Twins works before it, Four-Calendar Caf was recorded and produced by the band, this time at their September Sound studio on the banks of the Thames in West London. A beautiful yet bittersweet record featuring the singles Bluebeard, Evangeline and Summerhead, the band manifest maturity and fragility in equal measure and while Lizs lyrics remain cryptic, theyre more intelligible here. Complete with a memorable design of inanimate objects by the I Spy childrens book creator Walter Wick, Four-Calendar Caf still stands tall going into its fourth decade.
