Sinulat ng banda ang mga kanta para sa bagong album noong 1983. Noong unang bahagi ng 1984 naitala nila ang karamihan ng album sa Paris gamit ang isang 35-piraso na orkestra, kasama ang iba pang mga sesyon na nagaganap sa Bath at Liverpool. Ang pagtanggap ng magkahalong pagsusuri ng album ay orihinal na inilabas bilang isang LP at isang cassette noong Mayo 1984 bago ito muling ipinalabas sa CD noong Agosto. Ang album ay muling inilabas sa CD noong 2003, kasama ang iba pang apat sa unang limang mga album ng studio ng banda, na muling nai-remaster at pinalawak bago muling ilabas noong 2008 na may isang live na disc ng bonus. Ang likhang sining para sa album ay dinisenyo ni Martyn Atkins at ang pagkuha ng litrato ay ni Brian Griffin. Ang Echo & the Bunnymen ay naglaro ng maraming konsyerto noong 2008 kung saan gumanap sila ng Ocean Rain nang buo at sa suporta ng isang orkestra.
