Echo and the Bunnymen have announced the release of their new studio album.
Titled
Meteorites
, it marks the band’s 12th full-length effort to date and first since 2009’s
The Fountain
. It was released in the UK on April 28th through
Spanning 10 tracks, the album was produced by Killing Joke bassist Youth. The recording line-
up included frontman Ian McCulloch, guitarist Will Sergeant, guitarist Gordy Goudie, and
bassist Stephen Brannan.
Frontman Ian McCulloch is quoted as saying “
it’s the band’s best work for a very long time.
”
He added, “
Meteorites is what Echo and the Bunnymen mean and are meant to be — up there
in heaven — untouchable, celestial, beautiful and real. It has
changed my life
.” Sounds a bit up his own arse to be honest,
but I reckon it will still be a great gig for any Echo fan.
In support of the release, Echo and the Bunnymen have
embarked on a world tour. The local UK leg has already
