Simon Raymonde On World Cafe

The multi-faceted musician, who played bass in Cocteau Twins, talks to World Cafe about his record label, Bella Union, and his current band, Lost Horizons.
In this session of World Cafe, we welcome musician Simon Raymonde. Since 1997, Raymonde has led Bella Union, the record label he co-founded. Before that time, he was the bassist in the much-revered Cocteau Twins, which he joined in 1983. Now, he's about to release Ojala, an album of music he wrote with drummer Richie Thomas under the band name Lost Horizons.
