Echo & The Bunnymen’s 1984 album Ocean Rain rolls up all the drama of its predecessors into an atmospheric masterpiece. The rough-edged post-punk is sanded down into lush acoustic textures on “Silver” and “Nocturnal Me”; hooks are sharpened to a fine edge on the glistening “Crystal Days” and “Seven Seas,” two of the most immediately appealing songs in their catalog. At the album’s center lies a perfect pairing in “Thorn of Crowns” and “The Killing Moon”—a chilling cry followed by a warm embrace.
