The new ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN studio album, THE STARS, THE OCEANS & THE MOON will be released on October 5th. As previously revealed, this album sees the band return to their peerless back catalogue to reinterpret thirteen of their most beloved songs with 'strings and things'. The album also features two future classics - "The Somnanbulist" and "How Far?" Recorded at The Dog House Studios with co-producer Andy Wright, the Bunnymen hand-picked the selection of tracks for the album from their majestic, four-decade spanning archive. Mac said of the new versions: "I'm not doing this for anyone else. I'm doing it as it's important to me to make the songs better. I have to do it.", Runningtime: 00:00:00, Arranged By [Strings], Conductor: Sam Swallow, Contractor [Orchestra Fixer]: Isobel Griffiths, Design: Ryan Art, Instrumentation By [Strings And Things]: The London Session Orchestra, Lead Guitar, Steel Guitar: Will Sergeant, Lyrics By: Ian McCulloch, Mastered By: Jean-Pierre Chalbos, Musician [Additional], Accordion: Igor Outkine, Musician [Additional], Bass Guitar: Steve Brannan, Musician [Additional], Cello: Gareth Huw Davies, Musician [Additional], Drums: Barriemore Barlow, Musician [Additional], Drums: Ian Skelly, Musician [Additional], Drums: Nick Kilroe, Musician [Additional], Keyboards: Jez Wing, Musician [Additional], Piano: Sam Swallow, Producer: Andy Wright, Producer: Gavin Goldberg, Producer: Ian McCulloch, Producer [Assistant]: Andrea Wright (2), Producer [Assistant]: Jez Wing, Programmed By: Andy Wright, Programmed By: Gavin Goldberg, Programmed By: Jez Wing, Recorded By: Andrea Wright (2), Recorded By: Gavin Goldberg, Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Keyboards: Ian McCulloch, Written-By: Ian McCulloch, Written-By: Les Pattinson, Written-By: Pete De Freitas, Written-By: Will Sergeant, Written-By: Ian McCulloch, Written-By: Will Sergeant, Written-By: Ian McCulloch, Written-By: Les Pattinson, Written-By: Will Sergeant, Written-By: Ian McCulloch, Written-By: Les Pattinson, Written-By: Pete De Freitas, Written-By: Will Sergeant, Written-By: Ian McCulloch, Written-By: Les Pattinson, Written-By: Pete De Freitas, Written-By: Will Sergeant, Written-By: Ian McCulloch, Written-By: Les Pattinson, Written-By: Will Sergeant, Written-By: Ian McCulloch, Written-By: Les Pattinson, Written-By: Pete De Freitas, Written-By: Will Sergeant, Written-By: Ian McCulloch, Written-By: Les Pattinson, Written-By: Pete De Freitas, Written-By: Will Sergeant, Written-By: Ian McCulloch, Written-By: Les Pattinson, Written-By: Pete De Freitas, Written-By: Will Sergeant, Written-By: Ian McCulloch, Written-By: Les Pattinson, Written-By: Will Sergeant, Written-By: Ian McCulloch, Written-By: Les Pattinson, Written-By: Pete De Freitas, Written-By: Will Sergeant, Written-By: Ian McCulloch, Written-By: Les Pattinson, Written-By: Pete De Freitas, Written-By: Will Sergeant, Written-By: Ian McCulloch, Written-By: Les Pattinson, Written-By: Pete De Freitas, Written-By: Will Sergeant, Written-By: Ian McCulloch, Written-By: Will Sergeant, Written-By: Ian McCulloch, Written-By: Les Pattinson, Written-By: Pete De Freitas, Written-By: Will Sergeant, Labelcode BGRT35513.2 (538355132), Phonographic Copyright (p) BMG Rights Management (UK) Limited, Copyright (c) BMG Rights Management (UK) Limited, Made By CDA ImPressing Solutions, USA, Published By Warner Chappell Music Ltd., Published By BMG Rights Management (UK) Limited, Recorded At The Doghouse Studio, Recorded At Plato Studios, Mastered At La Source Mastering
