Because it amuses me, here’s a song with the same name but otherwise completely unrelated the one posted Monday. “Evangeline” was the first non-4AD release by Cocteau Twins, coming out in September 1993 and previewing Four-Calendar Cafe, their first album for Fontana.

It was also a notable record for being the first where Elizabeth Fraser’s lyrics are entirely in English. Of the shift, Fraser said:

“What I’ve got to do is get honest, to stop doing what I was doing. Unfortunately, and this is typical of me, I tend to go from one extreme to the other. To go from an album like Blue Bell Knoll, which is so heavily disguised and removed from reality, to Heaven or Las Vegas, or even more to this one, where everything on it is in English and it’s all audible…it is extreme, I think. But it seems important for me to do that.”
