Head over Heels is the second studio album by influential Scottish rock band Cocteau Twins. The album was released in October 1983 by 4AD, and was their first album as a duo of Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie. It featured the band's signature sound of "Guthrie’s lush guitars under Fraser’s mostly wordless vocals" and is considered an archetype of early ethereal wave music.
Head over Heels was released on 31 October 1983 by 4AD.
The original United Kingdom and Canadian cassette and CD of Head over Heels, and the Brazilian CD versions, also included the Sunburst and Snowblind EP. The 2003 CD, remastered by Guthrie, did not include the EP.
Head over Heels was ranked at No. 7 in Sounds magazine's End of Year List for 1983.
In 2003, the album was named one of the most eccentric British albums of all time by Mojo magazine.
All tracks written by Cocteau Twins (Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie).
