Released in 1988, Blue Bell Knoll is the Cocteau Twins’ fifth studio album, the first they recorded in their own studio. they rose to the challenge of producing it themselves with real aplomb, introducing a new pop sensibility to their sound. Sound On Sound magazine praised them for showing “an uncanny feel for contemporary sound possibilities without making even the slightest concessions towards the mainstream.”

A beautiful record that showed the band’s continued maturity, it also included one of their most enduring songs, ‘Carolyn’s Fin­gers’, which was reflected on the album’s cover ‐ a close‐up of their friend Carolyn’s hand as shot by Juergen Teller.
