Love's Easy Tears is an EP by Scottish alternative rock 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.

Reception[]

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".[2]
