The LP will be preceded by a single ’Stormy Weather’ on September 5.

Speaking about ’Siberia’, singer Ian McCulloch said: “The band we’ve got around us now are the closest to the old Echo And The Bunnymen

we’ve ever had. Not that we’ve intentionally set out to capture the past in any way. I think I’d been trying to get away from the approach of ’Heaven Up Here’ or ’Porcupine’ where a lot of the songs were based on a single note, or a pulse even.”

He added: “But with this album I thought, let’s just slide in there and see what happens. It was Will (Sergeant – guitarist), really, who reminded me that we used to do things more instinctively. We’ve tried to be a little less structured in the songwriting, but not forgetting the importance of a good song. We’ve got the balance here, I think.”
