Sunburst and Snowblind is the third EP by Scottish alternative rock band Cocteau Twins. It was released on 7 November 1983 by 4AD. The EP features "Sugar Hiccup" from the album Head over Heels, as well as three other tracks.
Background[]
The title of the EP comes from the first line in the opening track of Head Over Heels, "When Mama Was Moth".
"From the Flagstones" and "Hitherto" appear on the 1986 compilation album The Pink Opaque, and the entire EP is featured in 1991's The Box Set. All songs except "Because of Whirl-Jack" have been performed live. Unlike many Cocteau Twins songs, "Sugar Hiccup" and "From the Flagstones" have discernible English lyrics.
The EP was later reissued as an appendage to the CD version of Head Over Heels in the United Kingdom, Brazil and Canada.

All tracks are written by Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie.
