Description
In VGC 2LP- now very hard to get hold of. Not only rare but a great album.
he indian summer of Echo And The Bunnymen's surprising late Nineties comeback has now cooled, but Siberia is a commendable attempt to make up for lost commercial ground. If 2001's under-rated Flowers cast the Bunnymen as woebegone psychedelists contentedly mumbling from the darker margins of indiedom while the world looked the other way then Siberia is the obverse. Far from sounding overcast, the single "Stormy Weather" is possibly the most effulgently extrovert song in the band's canon and maybe even an ironic titular riposte to a career seemingly blown off-course. The jury's out on Hugh Jones' production; reassuringly retro as on "Heaven Up Here" (his last work with the band) or too burnished to harness the evident danger which lurks behind "Scissors In The Sand"? The qualities of "Everything Kills You" and "What If We Are" are less equivocal--grand, romantic mock-tragedies in the tradition of "Rust" or "Nothing Last's Forever but instances of deja-vu persist with a little too much self-referencing to songs we've already learned to sing and the suspicion that the chord progressions to "Parthenon Drive" inadvertently derived from heroic sources (namely the Velvet's "Lady Godiva's Operation"). Not Porcupine then, or Crocodiles. However, Siberia is a decent enough record coming from a band stubbornly unwilling to be left out in the cold
Released with a gatefold picture sleeve and including a 2-sided credits insert.
