First-ever U.S. vinyl release
Robin Guthrie delivers new 24-bit remaster
The Cocteau Twins' first of two albums created for Capitol Records
Like most Cocteau Twins works before it, Four-Calendar Café was recorded and produced by the band, this time at their September Sound studio on the banks of the Thames in West London. A beautiful yet bittersweet record featuring the singles "Bluebeard", "Evangeline" and "Summerhead," the band manifest maturity and fragility in equal measure and while Liz's lyrics remain cryptic, they're more intelligible here. Complete with a memorable design of inanimate objects by the I Spy children's book creator Walter Wick, Four-Calendar Café still stands tall going into its fourth decade.
