Proper Records, in collaboration with Universal Music Recordings, have released a reissue of the 1996 album, Milk & Kisses, from shoegaze pioneers, Cocteau Twins.

Although not intended so at the time, Milk & Kisses – released in March 1996 – became the final album issued by the group. The trio worked separately but effectively – Raymonde would work in the daytime, Guthrie at night, leaving Fraser to add her vocals. Because of the aftershocks of her split with Guthrie, lyrics came easy to her.

The album contains singles such as, "Tishbite", "Violane", and "Eperdu". Although work had begun on a follow up album to Milk & Kisses, the Cocteau Twins split up in 1997. This re-issue is presented with attention to the detail of the original UK first pressings and available is in audiophile 140gm vinyl.

Tracklist:

Side One

  1. Violaine
  2. Serpentskirt
  3. Tishbite
  4. Half-Gifts
  5. Calfskin Smack

Side Two

  1. Rilkean Heart
  2. Ups
  3. Eperdu
  4. Treasure Hiding
  5. Seekers Who Are Lovers

The reissue of Milk & Kisses is out now.
