Big Sonic Heaven: Cocteau Twins ‘Victorialand’ turns 40 and New Order gets inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

It’s been 40 years since the release of Cocteau Twins’ “Victorialand.” In celebration of the anniversary, we heard two tracks from the album. We also heard a track from New Order celebrating their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Then we heard a classic from Bjork as she gears up for her rave during the eclipse in Iceland this August and a new limited edition 7’ single from Nation of Language, covering the Bruce Springsteen song, “Tougher Than The Rest.”

Plus a track from the debut album from the new Italian shoegaze band, Yumeia & Tre Flip. Portland-based Phosphene has a new album, “Velveteen,” due out in May. We listened to “Wired,” along with new Hammock, The Twilight Sad, and more!
