By the time they released their self-titled fifth album in 1987, Echo & the Bunnymen had already cemented their place as post-punk icons. With soaring ambition and widescreen production, Echo & the Bunnymen marked a shift toward a more polished, expansive sound, while still retaining the brooding atmosphere and poetic intensity that defined their earlier work. Featuring the standout single “Lips Like Sugar,” the album captures the band at a creative crossroads — lush, layered, and unapologetically grand. A cult favourite that bridges their underground roots and mainstream reach.
