"Iceblink Luck" is a single by three-piece Scottish band Cocteau Twins. It was released by 4AD Records in August 1990. It was the first single to be released from the Heaven or Las Vegas album. Notably, it is the band's first genuine single release, and only their second UK Top 40 release in the UK Singles Chart, peaking at #38.[1]

Featuring a more accessible, intelligible sound that Allmusic commented was 'almost a rave-up'[2], the single managed to achieve airplay on the UK's national radio[3], and the album proved to be the band's highest charting release in the UK.[4]

Music video

A promotional video was made for the song which also received attention on MTV.[5] It begins with a set of swirling bright red lights on a dark background. Elizabeth Fraser appears in black and white singing with her hands behind her back against a backdrop of blue, and the two other band members play their instruments amongst a mass of bright lights.
