    4AD James Lavell - MoWax related. My pops got me a couple of crates from an auction and blew my (experimental) mind back in the late 90's with this ish. Great packaging and an interesting precursor to the MoWax vibe.

    I haven't thought about this since way back when. But, I always thought there was a connection. Am I wrong or just (this is soooo over related).

    In my mind garden they sound like a post-punk version of These Trails.

    4AD are part of Beggars Banquet, along with Matador Records, Rough Trade Records and XL Recordings.

    Nothing to do with MoWax unfortunately.

    Saying Liz Fraser= Voice of God is no hyperbole.

    Robin Guthrie has a few solo records that I highly recommend if you are a Cocteaus fan. No vocals, just loads of shimmery ambient guitar, excellent stuff IMO

    That 'Wax and Wane' song is outstanding. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Is the rest of 'Garlands' that good?

    Garlands a great LP, but it's the only one of theirs that has that post-punk dark moody sound, after that LP they moved into the more atmospheric melodic style that really made them famous.
