“When days feel like nights / in the haze of a life / find the rays of the light that surrounds you…”When Ian McCulloch offers words of redemption and hope to the scared and the dispossessed, the immediate effect is two bold arms wrapping themselves right around the listener. ‘The Light That Surrounds You” is the second track taken from THE BUNNYMEN’s phenomenal forthcoming album ‘Apples for Issac’, and it chimes with a swirl of glorious guitar and a rhythm track that’s been built with the denizens of 1000 festival fields in mind.
‘Apples For Isaac’ is due for release on BMG on 18th September 2026. There, an untouchable voice sings 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 album’s 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 so great.
‘Apples For Isaac’ is the band’s 13th album and follows 2014’s ‘Meteorites’ (and the 2018 compilation ‘The Stars, the Oceans & the Moon’), and is due for release on vinyl, CD and digital formats.
