After launching a successful crowdfunding campaign through Pledge Music (the campaign goal was met in 24 hours), Echo & The Bunnymen return with the full length album Meteorites this spring. Today the band premiered the first song from the album "Market Town" which you can stream in full below via Consequence of Sound. Echo says the 7 minute track is the first taste of Meteorites, but will not be the first single from the album.
Echo & the Bunnymen have previously stated that Meteorites revives a "passion for the Velvet Underground" and will rank alongside some of their classic albums like Crocodiles and Ocean Rain.
Meteorites will be released on June 3rd through 429 Records and is available to pre-order now through Amazon or Pledge Music. The tracklisting for the album is posted below.
