Bleep

Fontana Records have recently embarked on a little Cocteau Twins reissue run, and included in the number is the band’s eighth and final LP Milk & Kisses. The 1996 record proves to be a fitting full-stop for the career of this pioneering band. All of the signature Cocteau Twins tricks are present and correct on Milk & Kisses. The Lynchian dream-pop style that the band helped to pioneer is once more the core style of these songs, but there is also a little of the clear-headed alternative rock that made itself felt on preceding LP Four-Calendar Café. This new edition replicates the European rather than Japanese tracklisting of Milk & Kisses.
