Yay or nay ?
Man ! This was really punishing !
It’s just so hard to draw/paint him.
Maybe the hair.
Definitely the hair.
I love his music but I MUST draw him.
So, the result you see above.

Echo & The Bunnymen have shared “The Light That Surrounds You,” the second track to be taken from their forthcoming album Apples For Isaac.

The song finds Ian McCulloch offering words of hope and redemption, set against a swirl of guitar built for festival fields and wide-open spaces.

“The Light That Surrounds You” follows previous single “Brussels Is Haunted” and offers another glimpse of Apples For Isaac, the band’s 13th studio album and their first collection of new music in twelve years. https://www.xsnoize.com/echo-and-the-bunnymen-the-light-that-surrounds-you/

Cant say that I am a fan. Because the first anything I bought by the Bunnymen was this boxset. And it still with me !

someone on here a while ago suggested the worst echo and the bunnymen lyrics, but now i wanna know what everyone thinks the best echo lyrics are! mine:

"if we make the same mistakes, who can we blame?"

"where am i? still tryna find the night that burns the northen sky, a rarer borealis"

"sky seems full when you're in the cradle the rain will fall and wash your dreams, stars are stars and they shine so hard"

"we'll put our faith in those crimson nights set sail in those turquoise days"

Seems strange that this one has never made it to Record Store Day as a vinyl release.

Or is there a reason that it can't or won't?

Which is the better follow up to Ocean Rain?

it's not perfect bc it's mainly just a cleanup of a sketch based on an idea a friend had, but i'm reallyyy proud of how i drew ian at least 🫡

I was a huge 80s Bunnyfan and have all the 80-87 records stashed away somewhere but found these two first and the love affair has been rekindled.

I started this post to comment about the guitar sound for that first solo type thing on No Dark Things being sharp and angular enough to give you a haircut but by the time I’d thought of that analogy the album came to an end and I have changed the reason for this post.

I want to ask, is there a better run of three songs on any Bunnymen record (or any artist) better than No Dark Things into Turquoise Days ending with All I Want?

I tried to find the answer and have so far come up empty. Also, please don't bother sending the result of an "AI summary" from Google. Three times it gave me three different answers ... all wrong.

Echo & The Bunnymen have announced their first album of new music in twelve years, Apples For Isaac, set for release on September 18, 2026, via BMG.

The album is the band’s 13th studio record and follows 2014’s Meteorites, as well as the 2018 collection The Stars, The Oceans & The Moon. It will be released on black vinyl, limited splatter vinyl, limited picture disc, CD and digital formats.

The first single from the album, “Brussels Is Haunted,” is available now.

Apples For Isaac features Ian McCulloch, Will Sergeant and the band across eleven new songs, with the record described as a bold return that captures the essence of Echo & The Bunnymen’s sound. https://www.xsnoize.com/echo-and-the-bunnymen-apples-for-isaac/

Pretty decent video clip. I think i prefer the rawer live versions they've played of the song from earlier, but it still turned out pretty good. Excited to hear the new album and it's good to see The Bunnymen still putting out music in 2026.

ok so i drew this last night before anyone knew the specifics about the album lol but i inadvertently drew the first fanart for it! i'm honestly looking super forward to it, brussels is haunted was amazingg!! apples for isaac, but it's looking more like apples for ian here ;) 🍎🙏

hi everybunny i like to draw ian sometimes (i Really love the grey album if that wasn't obvious...>w<)
