    Meteorites is a clarion call to all of their followers, from the Flaming Lips to Interpol, that Echo & The Bunnymen have finally come back to reclaim their rightful place back in front of the spotlight.

    Youth and the group walk the line between grandiose and epic throughout, never falling on the wrong side even once.

    Comfy isn’t always what you want, though. And while Meteorites walks that line, we can at least take comfort in the fact that McCulloch and Sergeant are still doing it, and doing it well.

Unfortunately there are no now horizons on this one. If you expect Echo and the Bunnymen’s groundbreaking 80’s material you’ll be disappointed.
