Whenever I listen to this music, I feel happy and I want to dance.

Cocteau Twins - Treasure (1984), Heaven or Las Vegas (1990)

Probably the most influential band 4AD ever signed. Listening to them is like a taking a warm bath in a frozen, deserted dream. No idea what language is being sung, but it doesn't matter, the words and noises are alien and heavenly and weird and liquid. Treasure is dark, HoLV is a bit lighter and where I would start if you've never heard them.

This indie darling Marissa Nadler is also channelling their vibe - I would go so as far to say ripping them off. Her voice is a carbon copy, the only difference is she uses real words.
