Echoes in a Shallow Bay is an EP by Scottish alternative rock band Cocteau Twins, released on 4AD.
A new vinyl version, sourced from digital files created from a new transfer of the original analogue tapes, was released in 2015, combined with the Tiny Dynamine EP.
The tracks on Tiny Dynamine and Echoes in a Shallow Bay were initially recorded to test the production capacities of a new studio.
When the band decided the material was strong enough for release, they completed the recording process and issued the finished product on two EPs.
The lyrics of this track consist of Fraser reciting the scientific names of the families of British moths.
