News: Echo & The Bunnymen’s Ian McCulloch Releases New Album

Holy Ghosts

Out 22nd April 2013 on Edsel Records
Echo & The Bunnymen front man Ian McCulloch has announced the release of the stunning “Holy Ghosts”, featuring two discs representing different eras in Mac’s work.

The first is a collection of orchestral re-workings of classic Echo & The Bunnymen and solo tracks, originally recorded during McCulloch’s show at the Union Chapel last year. It will be released on Edsel Records on 22nd April 2013.

This hugely moving album is produced by Youth (Primal Scream/Depeche Mode/The Verve) and sounds simultaneously intimate and majestic with McCulloch’s voice full of raw emotion and all the more powerful for it. It also marks the beginning of an exciting new musical direction for the iconic singer.
