“Blue Bell Knoll” by Cocteau Twins

The title track of Blue Bell Knoll, the fifth Cocteau Twins album, released by 4AD on 19 September 1988, is credited to Elizabeth Fraser, Robin Guthrie and Simon Raymonde, who wrote the music together, with Fraser supplying the words. The band produced it themselves. Fraser took the album's name from Bluebell Knoll, a peak in southern Utah, and the song shares it.

The record opened a bigger door in America for the Scottish dream pop band: Capitol licensed it from 4AD for release in North America, making it their first album with major-label distribution in the States. Years later, after a spell out of print, Guthrie remastered it for a 2003 reissue.
