Transformed Classics On 180g Vinyl Double LP!
Bunnymen Classics Transformed & New Songs With Strings & Things Attached
As previously revealed, this album sees the band return to their peerless back catalogue to reinterpret thirteen of their most beloved songs with strings and things. The album also features two future classics "The Somnanbulist" and "How Far?" Recorded at The Dog House Studios with co-producer Andy Wright, the Bunnymen hand-picked the selection of tracks for the album from their majestic, four-decade spanning archive. Mac said of the new versions: "Im not doing this for anyone else. Im doing it as its important to me to make the songs better. I have to do it."
"Seven Seas" was originally a Top 20 hit in 1984, the third single from their classic fourth studio album Ocean Rain.
This new studio album sees The Bunnymen, still lead by the indomitable 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.
