Milk & Kisses is the eighth album by Cocteau Twins issued in 1996. It proved their last; a meeting two years later to record a new album ended with the breakup of the band.[7][8]
The song "Rilkean Heart" was a homage to Jeff Buckley, who was a lifelong lover of the work of poet Rainer Maria Rilke.[9]
The Japanese edition of Milk and Kisses contained two bonus tracks ("Flock Of Soul" and "Primitive Heart").[10] The Hong Kong edition contained a duet version of "Serpentskirt" sung by Elizabeth Fraser with C-pop artist Faye Wong. Wong later recorded an acoustic version of "Rilkean Heart" for her 1997 album Faye Wong, on which Guthrie and Raymonde also wrote a new song, "Yu Le Chang" ("Amusement Park"), for her. In 2013, Sarah Brightman covered their song "Eperdu" on her album Dreamchaser.
