Guitarist Will Sergeant and singer <a href="spotify:artist:5KGqHVetCqZiKRRgjrUBdq">Ian McCulloch</a> formed <a href="spotify:artist:0fgYKF9Avljex0L9Wt5b8Z">Echo & the Bunnymen</a> with bassist 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. <a href="spotify:artist:5KGqHVetCqZiKRRgjrUBdq">Ian McCulloch</a> 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 <a href="spotify:artist:5KGqHVetCqZiKRRgjrUBdq">McCulloch</a> imitator named Noel Burke.
In 1992, <a href="spotify:artist:5KGqHVetCqZiKRRgjrUBdq">McCulloch's</a> second solo album, Mysterio, flopped, and he reconciled with Sergeant two years later. Sergeant and <a href="spotify:artist:5KGqHVetCqZiKRRgjrUBdq">McCulloch</a> recruited bassist 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 <a href="spotify:artist:0fgYKF9Avljex0L9Wt5b8Z">Echo & the Bunnymen</a>'s moody, slightly psychedelic indie pop. In November 1994, Electrafixion released "Zephyr" on their <a href="spotify:artist:2zeffDvkZlhu6O60l2vFfp">Spacejunk</a> label, and followed with the album Burned in late 1995. ~ John Bush, Rovi
