Music news

Echo & The Bunnymen will release their first album of unreleased songs in twelve years on September 18, 2026.

“Apples For Isaac” is the title of the album, the band's thirteenth studio album and comes after 2014's “Meteorites” (and the 2018 collection The Stars, the Oceans & the Moon).

The first single from the album, Brussels Is Haunted.

“Apples For Isaac” represents a monumental return for Echo & The Bunnymen. After years spent touring their immense repertoire of classics to audiences around the world, the band have recorded an album that is bold, confident and, at times, even capable of offering a warm embrace to the listener. Across the eleven tracks of Apples For Isaac, Ian McCulloch, Will Sergeant and the rest of the band have crafted an irresistible collection that perfectly captures the essence of what makes Echo & The Bunnymen such a unique band.

Apples For Isaac features the incomparable drummer Clem Burke, present on ten of the album's eleven tracks. The band remembered his contribution like this:

The powerful and legendary Clem Burke, Mac's longtime friend, was instrumental in the making of this album. With immense pain he left us during the final stages of the work… We love you, Clem. X”.

THE SINGLE

The first single from “Apples For Isaac” is Brussels Is Haunted, three and a half minutes of sublime music that hovers above the capital of Belgium, observing the characters who have passed through it like ghosts and restoring the breath and memory of the city with extraordinary intensity.
