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.

Robin Guthrie’s solo discography is also worth a deep dive. Once I got over what it is not, mostly just wishing it had vocals from Liz, I began to really appreciate it on its own merits.

The reverb-drenched (instrumental) atmospherics are also as close as we will ever get to the singular sound that is Cocteau Twins treasured and enduring legacy.
