An untouchable voice singing lyrics that could well be poetry from the stars – set against a musical backdrop capable of levitating listeners without warning – Apples For Isaac is a monumental return from Echo & The Bunnymen. After years spent performing their immense catalogue of classics to audiences around the world, the Bunnymen have recorded an album that is bold and confident and at times even offers the listener a loving embrace. Across the eleven songs, Ian McCulloch, Will Sergeant and the band have created an utterly addictive collection that perfectly captures the very essence of what makes the Bunnymen so great.
Apples For Isaac features peerless drummer Clem Burke playing on ten of the eleven tracks and the Bunnymen have noted his contribution to the album: “The mighty, legendary Clem Burke – longtime friend of Mac – was integral to the making of the album, and heartbreakingly passed away during its completion. We love you, Clem x”
The first single from the album, Brussels Is Haunted, is a sublime three and a half minutes of music that swoops and soars over Belgium’s capital city and spies on the characters who have passed through it like ghosts, bringing the place to life in vivid detail.
