Robin Guthrie

Robin Andrew Guthrie (born 4 January 1962) is a Scottish musician, songwriter, composer, record producer and audio engineer, best known as the co-founder of the post punk alternative rock band Cocteau Twins.

Guthrie and his friend Will Heggie were members of a four-piece band called The Heat, who later released a single under the name The Liberators in 1980.

Guthrie's next release, which was co-written with Harold Budd, was the film score for Gregg Araki's Mysterious Skin.

Like the soundtrack to Mysterious Skin, both albums are slow, drifting pieces primarily utilising treated guitar and piano.

In 2015, Guthrie and friend Mark Gardener of Ride wrote, performed and recorded an album Universal Road together.

In 2005 Guthrie mixed Amber Smith's third studio album entitled RePRINT which brought the band an international breakthrough.
