Dewdrops Records
Dewdrops Records, an outgrowth of an "uncommon music" fanzine run by members of a Cocteau Twins fanclub, was an alternative-rock record label active from 1993 until 2002. It was the joint project of Brant Nelson and Pat Mannion. History
Dewdrops Records' first release was Thurtene (1993), a tribute to the British record label 4AD featuring 13 bands and 13 covers. Unsigned bands such as Hover, Red Zoo, and Orange appeared on the CD with covers of well-known 4AD songs like "Gigantic," "I Melt with You," and "Where Is My Mind?" Splashed With Many a Speck (1997) came not long after and was a second tribute album, this one featuring Faith & Disease, Lanterna, The Curtain Society, and Chicklet. This compilation was notable in that it featured the exclusive US release of a Cocteau Twins track "Touch Upon Touch" that had previously only been included on British compilation Volume 5. The label's final release was Half Gifts: A Tribute to the Cocteau Twins, released in 2003. Discography
