Legendary rock band Echo & the Bunnymen have announced its upcoming 13th studio album, Apples For Isaac.
The band's first record in 12 years, Apples For Isaac, is set for release on Sept. 18 and will feature 11 new tracks. Its haunting lead single, "Brussels Is Haunted," was released on July 16 along with an accompanying music video.
Produced by singer Ian McCulloch, Apples For Isaac will feature instrumentals from the late Blondie drummer Clem Burke on ten out of 11 of the tracks, with the band noting that Burke was a key part of the new record.
A statement read: "The mighty, legendary Clem Burke — longtime friend of Mac — was integral to the making of the album, and heartbreakingly passed away during its completion… love you Clem X".
Ahead of the album's release, the band will play a handful of shows across the U.K. and Europe, including some free shows in Northern Spain. During release week, the band will be headlining two shows at the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre in London on Sept. 22 and 23.
In June, the band was forced to postpone a concert at the iconic Fillmore Philadelphia after McCulloch was involved in a road traffic accident.
“As a result, Ian required medical treatment,” an Instagram post read. “Thankfully, the injuries sustained are not believed to be serious; however, as you can appreciate, he has been left understandably shaken by the incident. As a precautionary measure, Ian is undergoing further medical assessment, including scans and X-rays.”
Formed in Liverpool in 1978, Echo & the Bunnymen found fame with the release of their 1980 debut album Crocodiles. In 1983, the band saw mainstream success with "The Cutter," which peaked at No. 8 on the U.K. Official Singles Chart. A few years later, in 1987, the rockers broke international waters and became a household name with the release of "Lips Like Sugar, which reached No. 36 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.
