Otherness is a 1995 EP by the Scottish band Cocteau Twins. It was released along with Twinlights as a teaser for the full length album Milk and Kisses. While it was a companion piece to Twinlights it was very different in style. The EP is special in the fact that it was essentially a remix album, the only such album released by the band. The remixer and collaborator was Mark Clifford from the British experimental band Seefeel.

All the tracks of this EP are either featured on previous or future releases. Both Seekers Who Are Lovers and Violaine appear on Milk and Kisses in totally reimagined versions. Feet-Like Fins originally appeared on the 1986 LP Victorialand and Cherry-Coloured Funk originally appeared on the 1990 LP Heaven or Las Vegas.

This EP and Twinlights were digitally remastered and re-released in 2005 as part of Lullabies to Violaine.
