I still don’t know how to explain to anyone who isn’t emotionally attached to Cocteau Twins what it meant to see Elizabeth Fraser sing live. There’s no useful scale for it. I saw Liz Fraser. In the same room. That’s basically the paragraph.
They mentioned that some of their usual setlist and visuals couldn’t be shown there, so they had prepared a different set. The political messaging remained, but some of the visuals were adapted. And what may very well have been Massive Attack’s last Singapore show.
Also they randomly played Avicii.
What a deeply strange, unicorn night.
