What they’re saying:
Bunnymen Classics Transformed & New Songs With Strings &
Things Attached ‘I’m not doing this for anyone else. I’m doing it as it’s
important to me to make the songs better. I have to do it.’ Ian McCulloch This
new studio album will see The Bunnymen, still lead by the indominable Ian
McCulloch and Will Sergeant, revisit some of their greatest songs to rearrange
and transform them with co producer Andy Wright…and strings and things. Expect
a couple of brand new tracks to accompany the classics.
Echo & the Bunnymen's dark, swirling fusion of post-punk and
The Doors/The Velvets-inspired pop psychedelia has brought the group twenty top
20 hits and nine top 20 albums in the UK so far in their 40 year career. The
band have come a long way from the group's infamous first concert as a
three-piece with a drum machine in 1979 at the legendary Erics club in
Liverpool, The Bunnymen still perform sell-out concerts across the world today.
Their seminal albums 'Crocodiles', 'Heaven Up Here', 'Porcupine' and 'Ocean
Rain' have been a major influence for acts such as Coldplay, The Killers and
The Flaming Lips whilst later albums 'Evergreen' and 'What Are You Going To Do
With Your Life?' and 'Siberia & Meteorites' demonstrate what an amazing
body of work the band have.
The Bunnymen are still revered by those in the best of popular
culture. In the past year alone, the highly acclaimed and culturally phenomenal
Netflix series 'Stranger Things' has used the song 'Nocturnal Me' whilst the
equally comparable '13 Reasons Why' has used 'The Killing Moon', a song also
used on
another Netflix show, 'Dead of Summer'.
