Cocteau Twins were a Scottish post-punk/ethereal/dream pop band formed in 1981 in Grangemouth, Falkirk. Known for their unique sound and ethereal vocals, the band captivated audiences with their dreamlike melodies and atmospheric music. With a career spanning over 15 years, Cocteau Twins left an indelible mark on the music industry before disbanding in 1997. Their innovative approach to music continues to inspire artists today.
Throughout their career, Cocteau Twins released numerous critically acclaimed albums, including "Treasure," "Heaven or Las Vegas," and "Blue Bell Knoll." Their distinct blend of post-punk, ethereal, and dream pop genres created a mesmerizing sonic landscape that set them apart from other bands of their time.
Cocteau Twins' enchanting vocals provided by Elizabeth Fraser added another layer of beauty to their music. Her angelic voice combined with Robin Guthrie's atmospheric guitar work and Simon Raymonde's melodic bass lines created a truly magical listening experience.

The second of two albums Cocteau Twins released via Fontana / Capitol Records after their long asso- ciation with 4AD ended in 1990 with Heaven or Las Vegas, the band warmed the waters for Milk and Kisses with a pair of exceptional EPs where they took their music to new places, Twinlights and Otherness - the first largely acoustic, the second their only sanctioned remixes (done with Seefeel’s Mark Clifford).A period of high creativity for the band, renewed after a turbulent time, they recorded and produced Milk &amp; Kisses between their September Sound studio in London and the coastal town of Pors Poulhan in Brittany, France. Featuring the singles ‘Tishbite’ and ‘Violaine’ and fan favorites such as ‘Serpent- skirt’ and ‘Treasure Hiding’, the album is a cathartic listen too with MOJO saying in a glowing review that the album’s title “accurately intimates its soothing, healing powers.” Ultimately, Milk &amp; Kisses also proved to be their swan song, bringing the curtain down on 14 years of wonder to leave an incredible legacy that new generations continue to discover to this day.
