The Cocteau Twins released their second album, 1983's Head Over Heels, following their first bass player's departure, and came close to reinventing themselves. Songs like "Sugar Hiccup" and the brilliantly named "Glass Candle Grenades," with their swooping vocals, clattering percussion and vibrant guitars, go a long way to lightening the downbeat mood cast on the band's previous album. The underlying combination of basic song structures, ethereal vocals and effects make Head Over Heels probably the best place to start investigating the Cocteau Twins' unique sound.
