Siberia [CD]

Echo & the Bunnymen - Siberia [CD]

Siberia is the crystallization of everything that has made the band so wonderful during their illustrious 26 year career. Explains McCulloch, ''the band we've got around us now are the closest to the old Bunnymen we've ever had. Not that we've intentionally set out to capture the past in any way. I think I'd been trying to get away from the approach of Heaven Up Here or Porcupine where a lot of the songs were based on a single note, or a pulse even, but with this album I thought, let's just slide in there and see what happens.'' One telling link to the past has been the recruiting of veteran studio wiz Hugh Jones as producer, the first time he'd worked with the Bunnymen since acting as producer on the group's second album. This is their 9th album and was recorded in Parr Street Studios in Liverpool. Imperial. 2005.
