It will also feature The Somnanbulist and How Far?, recorded at The Dog House Studios with co-producer Andy Wright.

Echo & The Bunnymen hand-picked the selection of tracks for the album from their four-decade spanning archive.

Mac said of the new versions: “I’m not doing this for anyone else. I’m doing it as it’s important to me to make the songs better. I have to do it.”

The first track released from the album, Seven Seas, is available now to stream, download or with all album pre-orders.
