Description
This re - issue of the Cocteau Twins' 1996 album, Milk & Kisses, precisely replicates the original 1996 UK release by Fontana Records. Pressed on high - quality 140g vinyl, it offers an authentic listening experience. Cocteau Twins, consisting of vocalist Elizabeth Fraser, guitarist Robin Guthrie, and bassist Simon Raymonde, formed in Grangemouth, Scotland in the late 70s. Guthrie and original bassist Will Heggie came up with the idea. By 1981, they added Fraser and signed to the renowned indie label 4AD in 1982. Raymonde replaced Heggie in 1983, and the trio created some of the most unique and otherworldly music of the 80s, with Guthrie's chiming guitar and Fraser's distinct soprano. In the early 90s, after their successful album Heaven Or Las Vegas, they moved to Mercury imprint Fontana. Although not planned as such, Milk & Kisses, released in March 1996, became their final album. The band members worked separately yet effectively. Due to Fraser's split from Guthrie, writing lyrics was easy for her. Led by the beautiful, hushed Top 30 single Tishbite and featuring fan - favorites Violane and Eperdu, this album is often overlooked and worth exploring. Despite starting work on a follow - up, the Cocteau Twins split in 1997.
