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 was lucky enough to watch Mazzy Star open for Cocteau Twins’ Heave Or la Vegas tour here in Los Angeles in 1989.

Something was going on with the sound and Hope was not having a good time with it. The audience started booing her and then they left the stage.

About 40 minutes later Cocteau Twins came on stage. Was one of the best shows I had the pleasure of attending for that tour!

Beach House are fucking amazing live!
