Echo & The Bunnymen and Sam Fender were both live on Later…With Jools Holland last night – check out their performances below.
Echo & The Bunnymen were on the show having just released The Stars, The Ocean & The Moon, an album whose primary purpose was to reinterpret 13 songs from the band’s back catalogue, but one of its two new songs – The Somnambulist – also got the nod yesterday. ‘Confident doesn’t do the record justice‘ according to Live4ever:
“Rather than tweak a specific album, or certain songs, he has ‘re-imagined’ the best known slices of the Echo & The Bunnymen catalogue, with two new offerings. In truth, these aren’t huge, wholesale changes so this album resembles a greatest hits.”
“The songs themselves aren’t re-arranged, just added to with strings or keyboards. Bring On The Dancing Horses loses a bit of life with less guitar emphasis and the dramatic harmonies, but a great song is a great song.”
