<a href="/tags/echo and the bunnymen">Echo & The Bunnymen</a> begin a new chapter with 'Brussels Is Haunted', the first preview of 'Apples For Isaac', their first album of newly recorded material in twelve years.
Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant return to the shadowed guitar sound that made the band distinctive without attempting to recreate a particular decade exactly. The song imagines the memories and disappeared lives still clinging to a European city, turning travel into something more mysterious than landmarks and acceptable lunch recommendations.
Late Blondie drummer Clem Burke appears on the album, adding another layer of history and emotion to the project. 'Brussels Is Haunted' sounds atmospheric, elegant and suitably nocturnal. It is music for walking through wet streets while pretending the figure behind you is merely another person with an excellent coat.
