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

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]
