Following their debut album, ‘Crocodiles’, Echo & The Bunnymen elevated their sound with the release of their second studio album, ‘Heaven Up Here’. This remarkable album features the compelling single ‘A Promise’ and the standout track ‘Over The Wall’, which gained popularity in Australia.
The album artwork, captured by Brian Griffin, showcases the beauty of the South Wales town of Porthcawl and earned accolades as the Best Dressed LP at the 1981 NME Awards. Notably darker than its predecessor, ‘Crocodiles’, ‘Heaven Up Here’ was met with enthusiastic praise from both fans and critics, solidifying the band’s cult status in the UK. The album reached #10 on the UK charts and achieved Gold certification, marking it as their first album to make an impact in the USA. It also won the prestigious NME Best Album award in 1981 and is celebrated in Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
