Echo And The Bunnymen Reveal Full Album Details, Stream “Market Town”

Echo and the Bunnymen have revealed full details of their eleventh studio album 'Meteorites', their first in five years, and have also shared the first taste with "Market Town", an anthemic 7-minute track.

The album, produced by Killing Joke bassist Youth, will be released on June 3rd through 429 Records, and is available to pre-order now through Amazon or Pledge Music.

About the new record, frontman Ian McCulloch said:

"Meteorites, the new Bunnymen album… at long last we’ve made the worthy successor to Crocodiles, Heaven Up Here, Porcupine and Ocean Rain. 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.”

The new track sounds basically like they did 30 years ago, which is really good!

Echo & the Bunnymen To Release New Album 'The Garden of Meedin'' This Year

Echo and the Bunnymen have announced they will release their twelfth studio album, 'The Garden of Meedin' later this year. 

In a recent interview, frontman Ian McCulloch said that he and long-time sparring partner Will Sergeant are heading back into the studio in the summer to record their follow-up to 2009’s The Fountain. 

"I’m just trying to get a start before I get together with Will," the singer says. “It’s worked the same way for a long time - since the split, and with Pete [De Freitas, original drummer] and Les [Pattinson, original bassist] not being around. All those days of rehearsal rooms used to get on my nerves – three hours of headache, earache, until I realised it was much better just to be in Yates Wine Lodge for three hours while they made a racket." 

“It’s more like the early stuff with loads of spiky guitars and space. But as much as this is reminiscent of the past, it feels dead new to me. There’s loads of space on there and it just unwinds during the course. I like that about us, things like [1981 single] ‘Over The Wall’ – it sounds like a journey. A lot of that was down to Will.” McCulloch explained. 

“It sounds fantastic. It’s just a different kind of ambition. The idea is to make the greatest album we’ve ever made. I always go into things thinking that anyway. I’ve spent the last 10 years trying to see where I could go with my voice and if I could write some bridges. Then I looked back and realised we never had any bridges.” He added.

There's no release date, album artwork, tracklist, or anything yet, but we'll keep you updated.
