If nothing else, the Cranberries’ return is extremely well-timed, as zombies in pop art (Colson Whitehead’s Zone One, AMC’s hit The Walking Dead) has become quite a viable trend. Apparently they reunited in early 2010 and have a new album out next year! Who said our national fetishisation of nostalgia was a bad thing? Go Millenials! Download the new song in exchange for an e-mail address.

If the The Cranberries’ old albums were new this year on an indie labeled people would eat it up. The Cranberries rock, I still can’t believe pop/rock radio stations used to play stuff like them.
love them and love the new song.
‘Zombie’ is one of my all-time favorite songs, and I associate their first album with my horizon-opening move from hickville AZ to big city Chicago in my early 20′s. So, am I glad they are back together? Yes. Will I be dropping my e-mail in the above slot in order to hear what they’re doing? Frankly, I’d have to hear it and like it first. But the odds that I will are long.
