It will be released on Edsel Records on 22nd April 2013.<\/p>\n<p>This hugely moving album is produced by Youth (Primal Scream\/Depeche Mode\/The Verve) and sounds simultaneously intimate and majestic with McCulloch\u2019s voice full of raw emotion and all the more powerful for it. It also marks the beginning of an exciting new musical direction for the iconic singer.<\/p>\n<p>The second disc is a new studio album \u2018Pro Patria Mori\u2019 that showcases ten new songs and completes a fantastic package.<\/p>\n<p>McCulloch will be going out on tour in April when Echo &#038; The Bunnymen begin a UK co-headline tour with James.
