Editor's review
For all its influence on the new breed of mopey post-punkers, Echo & the Bunnymen is actually a stellar pop band. Not as dark as Joy Division or as agitated as Gang of Four, the group is more regal sounding, adding introspection and guitar hooks to its driving music. This is as true of the band's classic '80s albums as it is of the 2005 release "Siberia."
Biography
Liverpool's finest are back! Echo & The Bunnymen have just completed their 9th album, "Siberia". It was recorded at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool with the legendary Hugh Jones producing. The band last worked with Hugh on their acclaimed 1981 album, "Heaven Up Here". "Siberia" takes the band back to their roots; it features their dark, swirling fusion of post-punk and Doors-inspired psychedelia that brought the group worldwide acclaim and a massive cult following.
