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^rdvia 429 Records. After worldwide premieres in The Guardian, MSN Music and Pandora, the album was released on May 26^th in the UK and is already a hit debuting at #30.

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.

Formed in 1978, the Bunnymen have been a vital force in the indie rock world for over 36 years having won over millions of obsessive music fans worldwide and indelibly influenced countless bands with their signature sound—from the Flaming Lips to Coldplay to Pavement. Meteorites is a key addition to their repertoire.
