No expiration date for Liverpool‘s indestructible post-punk-pop rockers
ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN (one of my all-time fav bands, on record and
on stage), fronted by big mouth/songwriter Ian McCulloch.
On 18 September they will share their 13th LP with the world.
It’s their first in 12 years, titled APPLES FOR ISAAC. No idea who
that Isaac guy is. Order info here.
Album artwork
Press info: After years spent performing their immense catalog of classics to
audiences around the world, the Bunnymen have recorded an album that is as
bold as it is vulnerable, that perfectly captures the essence of what makes
the band so great.
All but one of the tracks features the late Blondie drummer
Clem Burke, who sadly passed away during its creation.
2 appetizers, thus far.
– BRUSSELS IS HAUNTED –
The song explores the ghosts and characters of the Belgian
capital haunted by World War 2. I’m from Belgium, Ian. What
do you actually mean here?
– THE LIGHT THAT SURROUNDS YOU –
McCulloh offers hope, redemption
and another anthemic gem.
