Echo & The Bunnymen return with a new studio album, Meteorites, this spring. The band revealed in a posting that they've partnered with Pledge Music to release the album, and say Meteorites will rank alongside some of their best records:
"Believe us when we say the eleventh album proper will rank alongside the likes of ‘Crocodiles,’ ‘Heaven Up Here,’ and ‘Ocean Rain’ and is in some sense a come back album in the mould of ‘Evergreen.’ It’s been five years since the last record and the interim has seen us involved in numerous side-projects that have leant a new perspective on working together for METEORITES. With Killing Joke: Official's Youth called in for production duties, the record revives a passion for the Velvet Underground, the bluest depths of 60s and 70s soul and soaring rock scripture where ‘Killing Moon’ came from."
Meteorites will be released on April 28th. For more on the album, visit the Pledge Music campaign here.
