Album Notes & Community Reviews

Echo and The Bunnymen's legendary debut is a masterclass in jagged, heavily atmospheric, and deeply mysterious British post-punk. Driven by Will Sergeant's angular, psychedelic guitar work and Ian McCulloch's remarkably dramatic, introspective vocal delivery, 'Crocodiles' is a highly energetic, wonderfully nocturnal record steeped in romantic longing and youthful anxiety.
