History
Dewdrops Records' first release was Thurtene (1993), a tribute to the British record label 4AD featuring 13 bands and 13 covers.[4][5] 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?"[6][7] Splashed With Many a Speck (1997) came not long after and was a second tribute album, this one featuring Faith & Disease, Lanterna, Love Spirals Downwards, The Curtain Society, and Chicklet.[8][9] 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.[10] The label's final release was Half Gifts: A Tribute to the Cocteau Twins, released in 2003.[11][6]
