#245 Cocteau Twins, 'Heaven or Las Vegas' (1990)

‘Heaven or Las Vegas’ was written and recorded during an incredibly tumultuous time for the band. Robin Guthrie’s cocaine habit had spiralled out of control. His partner and bandmate, Elizabeth Fraser was pregnant with their child. She and fellow Cocteau Twin, Simon Raymonde had hoped that the baby would encourage Guthrie to calm down on his drug use, but that was not to be.
