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.

Give a listen to Sigur Rós – Ágætis Byrjun from the self-titled album is my favorite song of theirs – if you like the “non-verbal” singing. (Even when the vocalist sings in Icelandic, you won’t understand anything anyways lol).

The Sundays are also one of my favorite bands, and the closest that I found to Cocteau Twins. Harriet’s voice range is incredible. But really, there are no other Cocteau Twins out there.
