Love's Easy Tears is an EP by Scottish dream pop band Cocteau Twins. It was released by 4AD in September 1986 as a 12" single, and was later re-released as a CD single with a fourth track, Orange Appled, included. The U.S. vinyl release also had four tracks but a different running order.[3] It was the eighth EP released by the band, their last EP for 4AD, and their last EP until 1993's Snow.
Reception
[edit]The EP was critically well received. Michael Fischer of The Michigan Daily described it as "ethereal romanticism" that made "for the closest thing in pop to a music for Gothic cathedrals".[4]
