Sunburst and Snowblind is the third EP by Scottish alternative rock band Cocteau Twins. It was released on 7 November 1983 by 4AD. The EP features "Sugar Hiccup", from the album Head over Heels, as well as three other tracks.

Background

The title of the EP came 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 EP was featured on The Box Set (1991). All songs except "Because of Whirl-Jack" were performed live. Unlike many Cocteau Twins songs, "Sugar Hiccup" and "From the Flagstones" had discernible English lyrics.

The EP was later reissued as an appendage to the CD version of Head Over Heels in the United Kingdom, Brazil and Canada.
