Echo & The Bunnymen have released Apples For Isaac, their 13th studio album and their first album of new music in twelve years, following Meteorites in 2014 and the compilation album The Stars, The Oceans & The Moon in 2018. The album is available now on CD, multiple vinyl and digital formats HERE
To coincide with the album release, the band have also released the focus track Lab Rats Ran.
With 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, Clem Burke and the band have created an utterly addictive collection that perfectly captures the very essence of what makes Echo & The Bunnymen such a perfect British band.
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 this album, and heartbreakingly passed away during its completion. We love you, Clem x”
Apples For Isaac features the singles Brussels Is Haunted, The Light That Surrounds You and Take Me By The Hand.

Formed in Liverpool in 1978, Echo & The Bunnymen cast an astonishing brightness into the long shadows of punk rock. From the very beginning they brought matchless musicality, along with Ian McCulloch’s unmistakable and inimitable wit and soul, to a body of songs that generations since have learned to sing. Over the years, their poignant and stirring records have been labelled everything from new wave and post-punk to psychedelia and goth. In truth, they are simply the glorious work of one of the greatest rock n roll bands ever.
Echo & The Bunnymen are:
Ian McCulloch, Will Sergeant, Ste Brannan, Simon Finley, Mike Smith and Peter Riley.
