Cocteau Twins - Milk & Kisses
£27.99
Description
This re-issue of the Cocteau Twins' album, Milk & Kisses, faithfully replicates the original 1996 Fontana Records UK release and is pressed onto high quality 140g vinyl.
Cocteau Twins formed in Grangemouth, Scotland in the late 70s. The brainchild of Guthrie and original bassist Will Heggie, by 1981 they had added Elizabeth Fraser and the following year signed to 4AD - one of the most illustrious of the indie labels. With Simon Raymonde replacing Heggie in 1983, the trio went on to create some of the most unique and otherworldly music of the 80s, built around Guthrie's chiming guitar and Fraser's unmistakable soprano. By the early 90s, the group had just released their most successful album, the commercial Heaven Or Las Vegas.
Although not intended so at the time, Milk & Kisses became the final album issued by the group. The trio worked separately – Raymonde would work in the daytime, Guthrie at night, leaving Fraser to add her vocals. Although led by the beautiful, hushed single 'Tishbite' and containing fan favourites 'Violane' and 'Eperdu', Milk & Kisses tends to be overlooked within the group's canon, so is ripe for investigation.
