Electrafixion - lyrics

Guitarist Will Sergeant and singer Ian McCulloch formed Echo & the Bunnymen with ba**ist Les Pattinson in Liverpool in 1978. The group later replaced a drum machine with Trinidad-native Pete de Freitas, and became one of the most important British indie bands of the '80s. Ian McCulloch left for a solo career in 1988, and his debut album Candleland proved successful. Meanwhile, his former band imploded after 1990's Reverberation, recorded with a McCulloch imitator named Simon Burke.br /br /In 1992, McCulloch's second solo album Mysterio flopped, and he reconciled with Sergeant two years later. Sergeant and McCulloch recruited ba**ist Leon de Sylva and drummer Tony McGuigan and toured England as Electrafixion. Crowds and the press approved of the group's groove-heavy update of Echo & the Bunnymen's moody, slightly psychedelic, indie-pop. In November 1994, Electrafixion released "Zephyr" on their Spacejunk label, and followed with the album Burned in late 1995. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide show less
