Cocteau Twins - Four Calendar Cafe

Four Calendar Café is the seventh studio album from Cocteau Twins, originally released in 1993. Following their long association with 4AD, this was one of two albums the band released via Fontana/Capitol Records. The album finds the band exploring a more polished and accessible sound while still retaining their signature ethereal textures and intricate melodies.

Recorded during a period of renewed creativity, the album features standout tracks that showcase Elizabeth Fraser’s haunting vocals, Robin Guthrie’s shimmering guitar work, and Simon Raymonde’s melodic bass lines.
