Sunburst and Snowblind is the third EP by Scottish alternative rock band Cocteau Twins. It was released on 7 November 1983, through the 4AD record label. The EP features an extended version of "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" appeared on The Pink Opaque (1985), and the entire album was featured on The Box Set (Cocteau Twins) (1991). 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 and Canada.
