Echo & The Bunnymen have announced Apples For Isaac, their first album in 12 years, which will be out September 18. It was produced by frontman Ian McCulloch and it features the late Clem Burke behind the drum kit on 10 of its 11 songs — the Blondie co-founder died during the making of the album.
The first single from the album is “Brussels is Haunted,” which sounds like Grey Album-era Bunnymen and features some wistful nostalgia from Mac: “Here’s to beauty and melancholy / Here’s to Annik and Pascal / To L’Archiduc and frozen Stolly / To Jean-Luis un rascal.” You can watch the animated video below.
Echo & The Bunnymen recently wrapped the North American leg of their Songs to Learn and Sing tour.
