When Ian McCulloch offers words of redemption and hope to the scared and the dispossessed, the immediate effect is of two bold arms wrapping themselves around the listener. The Light That Surrounds You is the second track taken from Echo & The Bunnymen’s phenomenal forthcoming album Apples For Isaac, and it chimes with a swirl of glorious guitar that’s been built with the denizens of a thousand festival fields in mind.
Apples For Isaac is the 13th album for Echo & The Bunnymen and their first collection of new music in twelve years. The album will be released via BMG on 18 September and follows Meteorites in 2014 and the compilation album The Stars, The Oceans & The Moon in 2018. Apples For Isaac is available on black vinyl, limited splatter vinyl (specialist shops exclusive), limited picture disc (D2C exclusive) and CD and digital formats.

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 the Bunnymen so great.
