Echo & the Bunnymen “Heaven Up Here” released 40 years ago today, May 30th, 1981. Heaven Up Here is the Bunnymen’s second album; it went to #10 in the UK and squeaked onto the US charts (#184) and also won the “Best Dressed LP” and “Best Album” awards at the 1981 NME Awards. It’s big, neo-psychedelic post-punk, at times anthemic, at others disjointed and angular. They released two singles: “A Promise” (#49 UK) and “Over the Wall” (not sure if it charted; its b-side “Crocodiles” was the title track to their debut LP). Those two singles are my top tracks on the album, I also really like “No Dark Things” (it is dark, a bit rough and jangly while also soaring and anthemic) and “All I Want.”
