Robin Guthrie

Musician

Scottish musician, founding guitarist of the Cocteau Twins, known for reverb-heavy electric guitar, ambient collaborations (notably with Harold Budd) and soundtrack work.

Guthrie is known for lush, reverb-drenched guitar textures. He collaborated with Harold Budd on albums including The Moon And The Melodies and the 2007 pair After The Night Falls / Before The Day Breaks; he contributed to the soundtrack for the film Mysterious Skin.

Two DeBaser reviews (both by giovanniA) focus on Guthrie's reverb-soaked electric guitar and his 2007 collaborations with Harold Budd. The albums Before The Day Breaks and After The Night Falls are presented as complementary, nocturnal, ambient works. Reviewers emphasize dense, wet reverb, sparse guitar lines, treated piano and an ethereal, dreamer-oriented mood.

For:Fans of ambient, dream pop and ethereal guitar; listeners of Harold Budd and Cocteau Twins; soundtrack and reverb-obsessed listeners.

 The music of "Before The Day Breaks" begins and immediately leaves a wet trail behind, as if the sound were too dense and moist to exhaust its presence in the mere act of listening.
