Great interview. It gives a slight glimpse into the world of one alternative rock’s most haunting and polarizing voices. McCulloch and Echo and the Bunnymen are true pioneers of a genre and style that has offered an outlet to so many amazing bands. They’ve never gotten the credit they deserve and largely remain something of a “cult” band. Their sound is still very much alive today and their influence can be heard in bands such as Radiohead, UNKLE, Interpol, The Killers and dozens of others. Echo and the Bunnymen are a timeless band that so happened to arrive before their time. I hope their new album, “The Fountain” provides something significant that attracts new listeners. Thanks Culture Bully for putting a true icon at the forefront of your blog.

LOL Kip I did give you a thanks in the review was one of my gigs of 2009 Jim I would go further and say Its right up there with Crocodiles and Ocean Rain as one of the finest lyrically it’s Ian at his best.As someone who first saw them in 79-80 I would say that they are as relevant live today and better than any of their peers still gigging.Zimbo totally blew me away emotionally at Londons Roundhouse. The ever changing backdrops and lighting are superb as is Ians voice seems strange to see him without trademark ciggie though.There is something special about them live
