<b>TUE, May 31 at the Bowery Ballroom</b>. Their new album, <b><i>This Modern Glitch,
</i></b>finished up at number 2 in Australia and number 3 in UK in its first week. The
<b>BBC.co.uk </b>online has already declared it “the pop album of the year,” saying "<i>This Modern Glitch is a flawless modern classic...[an] incredible, irrepressible, ecstatic, brilliant record</i> …” and
<b><i>Spin </i></b>declared the album “<i>Echo & the Bunnymen for the Internet Age.”</i>
