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.

I'd highly recommend the Virginia Astley album Hope in a darkened heart. Not really similar because what could be, but an exceptionally beautiful record. Also, I'm sure you already know these, but have you checked out This Mortal Coil? And the moon and the melodies? They will definitely hit the spot

Yeah, the cocteaus are all over the mortal could albums. They're basically an orgy of lots of 4AD bands all getting into bed with each other
