Echo And The Bunnymen - bring on the dancing horses, 1985

"The song is heavy on the reverb to positively Cocteau Twins levels, and for the first time, the sonic focus is less on Will Sergeant's overdubbed guitar lines and more on the layers of synths that eddy around Ian McCulloch's vocals. Similarly, the choruses are sung by a small choir of overdubbed McCullochs, adding to the psychedelic haze of the track. In the long run, this change in sound didn't do Echo & the Bunnymen much good, as evinced by a listen to the extremely spotty self-titled album from 1987, but "Bring on the Dancing Horses" has a dreamily catchy chorus and a nice melody, and the band still had all of its saved cool points from Ocean Rain, so it gets a pass."
