SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Echo & The Bunnymen's long-awaited new studio album, Meteorites, will be available in the U.S. tomorrow, June 3(rd )via 429 Records.

Produced by Youth, Meteorites contains ten highly personal new songs written by founder Ian McCulloch and performed by Bunnymen stalwarts McCulloch and Will Sergeant along with Gordy Goudie (guitar) and Stephen Brannan (bass). The band released two singles simultaneously--"Lovers On The Run" in the UK and "Holy Moses" as the first U.S. single. Says Rolling Stone of "Lovers on the Run": "Luxuriating in string-sloshed killing-moon ooze that could teach today's young folks a thing or two about how to spoon out the decadent splendor." They announced their return to the U.S. for a tour which begins August 1(st) in Los Angeles at the historic Orpheum Theatre. Described by Ian McCulloch as the worthy successor to Crocodiles, Heaven Up Here, Porcupine and Ocean Rain, The Independent noted "Meteorites is a return to form." Meteorites will be available in the U.S. tomorrow on 429 Records.
