"Treasure" (1984) is the third album by the Cocteau Twins. With this album, the band settled on what would, from then on, be their primary lineup: vocalist Elizabeth Fraser, guitarist Robin Guthrie and bassist Simon Raymonde. Some of the song titles seem to be inspired by Gerard de Nerval's book "Aurélia" or his "Les Filles du Feu." The title "Ivo" is named after the album's record label 4AD founder Ivo Watts-Russell.
