Candleland is the debut solo album by the English musician Ian McCulloch.

The album marked McCulloch's departure from Echo & the Bunnymen, in 1989.

It features a guest appearance by the Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser on the title song.

The producer, and McCulloch's main musical collaborator on the album, was the producer, programmer, multi-instrumentalist, composer and vocalist Ray Shulman, bassist and main co-writer for 1970s progressive rock group Gentle Giant.

[3][4] The Chicago Tribune noted that "the new material is even more brooding and self-reflective than usual".
