Cocteau Twins
Cocteau Twins were an innovative and influential Scottish dream pop band. Forming in 1979 in Grangemouth, Scotland, UK (the name taken from an obscure song by fellow Scots Simple Minds), they built a sound based on woozy atmospherics and singer Elizabeth Fraser's unmatchable vocals, most of which featured lyrics of made-up words and words plucked at random from the dictionary. Their first release was "Garlands" in 1982 on 4AD Records, which was received well.

If I Ever Wanted Anything
I have a new single out! "If I Ever Wanted Anything" is a post-punk power ballad with the same searing, queer femme energy that The Rapid Onset is known for. It's both gospel and grit, spiritual and spit, You said knock And it will be opened You said seek And I will find You said ask Ans it will be given You said love Heart, soul and mind So I knock, And I seek And I ask, And I love With all my heart, And all my soul And all my mind But I’m still standing here telling you Goodbye Goodbye I said I’d wait (You said you’d wait) ‘til you brought us through it (But you never did) I said I’d fight (You said you’d fight) ‘til war was over (But it never ends) I said I’d give ‘til I was empty But I guess you always knew That I’d be standing here one day Telling you goodbye Telling you Goodbye It’s got everything to do with love (love) It’s got everything to do with love (love) I can’t live what I don’t want I can’t give what I don’t have It’s everything to do With everything I am Standing here telling you It’s everything to do with love Goodbye You said knock And the door will open See k and I will find And if I ever wanted anything You said all I gotta do is You said ask It will be given You said love Heart, soul and mind So I knock, And I seek And I ask, And I love With all my heart, And all my soul And all my mind But I’m still standing here telling you Goodbye Goodbye I said I’d wait ‘til you brought us through it fight ‘til war was over Give ’til I was empty goodbye I said I’d give and now I’m empty Goodbyemore

Pentimento
I have a new single out today for Bandcamp Friday! "Pentimento" is live now. 🚫NO AI EVER🚫 Not in the writing, not in the audio, not in the artwork. Beautiful Nightmare Enlightened dream Nothing to hope for A panic scream I am divine love neoplatonic I’m unspeakable I’m supersonic Oh have you seen us? Cro-Magdalene The death of Venus Anthropocene Air in my lungs A coffin fit Fit for a goddess But is this it? Is this really it? I’m unthinkable Insight obscene So subliminal I’m space between I got to get wise Cuz it’s a long drop Down on the upside This trip is non-stop Oh something wicked You wanna get some? I’m under everything That I’ve overcome They say that God is dead She’s been replaced I’m red-handed Slapped in the face Come get some! Oh on the first day yeah they gave me a name And on the next day I got shame, shame, shame I’m just a doll they like to stick full of thorns An angel fallin’ since the day I was born I'm not a human I'm a machine I’m intravenous Freak Epicene I don’t belong here I’m outta time There’s something wrong here Yeah, It’s a mindcrime I’m not the right shape I’m not the right size I got the good genes I got the dead eyes End of the bloodline I am a plot twist Death of the party Anhedonist Oh on the first day yeah they gave me a name And on the next day I got shame, shame, shame I’m just a doll they like to stick full of thorns An angel fallin’ since the day I was born They’re out ta get me I don’t even know why I’m just a girl they’re screamin’ “Die! Die! Die!” I’m outta my head cuz I want a just world Yeah, I’m so fucked cuz I’m a pentiment girl Oh, something wicked You wanna get some? Out ta get me since the day I said huh credits released August 6, 2026 Written, performed and recorded by Kiri Anne Ryan Bereznai license all rights reservedmore
