Cocteau Twins - Four Calendar Cafe (LP)

On October 18th, 1993, Cocteau Twins released their seventh studio album Four-Calendar Cafe, an album which was named after William Least Heat-Moon‘s book Blue Highways, where the author rates the quality of a restaurant by the number of calendars it has hanging on its walls. The record was a departure in sound with it’s more pop-oriented melodies, continuing the change begun on the band’s previous record Heaven or Las Vegas, but with even more intelligible lyrics from Elizabeth Fraser’s vocals this time around.
