Crocodiles (album)
''Crocodiles'' is the debut album by the British post-punk band Echo & the Bunnymen. It was released on 18 July 1980 in the United Kingdom and on 17 December 1980 in the United States. The album reached number 17 on the UK Albums Chart. "Pictures on My Wall" and "Rescue" had previously been released as singles.
Recorded at Eden Studios in London and at Rockfield Studios near Monmouth, ''Crocodiles'' was produced by Bill Drummond and David Balfe, while Ian Broudie had already produced the single "Rescue". The music and the cover of the album both reflect imagery of darkness and sorrowfulness. The album received favourable reviews from the music press, receiving four out of five stars by both ''Rolling Stone'' and ''Blender'' magazines.
==Background and recording==
Echo & the Bunnymen formed in 1978 and originally consisted of Ian McCulloch (lead vocals), Will Sergeant (lead guitar), Les Pattinson (bass) and a drum machine. They released their debut single, "The Pictures on My Wall" in May 1979 on the independent label Zoo Records. The band then signed with WEA subsidiary label Korova and were persuaded to employ a drummer.〔Adams 2002, p. 34〕 Pete de Freitas subsequently joined the band and in early 1980 they recorded their second single "Rescue". The single was recorded at Eden Studios in London and produced by fellow Liverpudlian and ex-member of Big in Japan Ian Broudie.
A British tour followed in June 1980 before the band went to Rockfield Studios to record their debut album. Despite talk of the American singer Del Shannon being asked to produce the album, it was produced by the band's manager Bill Drummond and his business partner and The Teardrop Explodes keyboard player David Balfe.〔Adams 2002, p. 39〕 The recording of the album only took three weeks,〔 but Pattinson was still surprised by how boring the recording process was: "There was a lot of hanging about. I didn't get all the 'drop-ins' and 'edits' bit."〔Bell 2003, pp. 6–7〕
