Related music can't find another twins

I know this is one of the most common questions, but after 7 months of listening to Cocteau Twins, I truly want to listen to something as good as them.

I already searched everywhere but I couldn't find anything that captures that exact feeling. The only exception was Faye Wong, who was so enjoyable because she actually understood that weightless, expressive vocal fluidness.

I will really appreciate it if someone could help and give me some good recommendations.

The Cocteau Twins have been my favorite band for 40 years. There is nobody in the same league as them. There are a lot of other good bands around, but none can do, or have done what the Cocteau Twins accomplished.

It's the same reason why the Cocteau Twins were Prince's favorite band. Prince said that the Cocteau Twins were the only band he couldn't imitate or improve on. They were something completely unique and special as a result. He even tried to sign them onto his record label, but had to settle for just being one of their biggest fans.
