Echo & The Bunnymen
The Fountain
New record from the band blasts off with the first single Think I Need It Too and doesnt look back. Will Sergeants guitar is prominent throughout, and Ians vocals still impress after all these years. Do You Know Who I Am? may be the hardest rocker on this collection, with driving drums powering the song along. But the quieter moments will make more imprints on the listener after a few plays. Check the title track for a reference, Sergeants guitar swirls around McCullochs vocals like the Ocean Rain days of old. But this is a band that is always moving forward, so hop on board and go for a pleasant ride.
8.0 / 10 — Sean K.
