Today in Rock: Echo & the Bunnymen Hit Peak New-Wave With "The Killing Moon" in 1984
Thirty-four years ago on this date, Ian McCulloch and Co. were on tour in support of their greatest album, Ocean Rain.
On March 30, 1984, Echo & the Bunnymen were right in the pocket of the most fruitful period of their career. With three beloved LPs under their belt, they were about a month away from releasing Ocean Rain, the album that would ultimately stand
as their masterpiece. Songs like “Silver,” “Seven Seas” and “My Kingdom” highlighted the group’s knack for blending ringing guitars, dramatic strings and Ian McCulloch’s clear baritone into a potion of new-wave romanticism to rival anything coming out of England (or Ireland) at the time.
