Released in March 1996, Milk & Kisses is the eighth and final studio album by Cocteau Twins. And like its predecessor, 1993’s Four Calendar Café, it has never been formally released on vinyl outside Europe. In January, 4AD will release it, along with its predecessor in the United States on black vinyl + CD. Robin Guthrie returned to his original studio mixes and has delivered stunning, brand new 24-bit masters of both titles.
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 & 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).
- This is the first ever official US vinyl release
