No writer’s block for English psych-pop desperados THE CORAL

The singular psych-folk-pop-rock wanderers, revel in a resurgent phase
of artistic enquiry and announce that TWO albums will be released on the
same day. SEA OF MIRRORS and HOLY JOE’S ISLAND MEDICINE SHOW
land on 8 September.

Pre-order info here.

– SEA OF MIRRORS –

– HOLY JOE’S ISLAND MEDICINE SHOW –

The first single is named WILD BIRD

James Skelly: “Like most of The Coral’s best known songs you could pick out,
it was written in about five minutes. Once the album concept was clear, this was
us imagining the theme tune for an Italian western directed by Fellini with a Richard
Yates written script. It’s us asking ourselves: what would have happened if Lee
Hazlewood had produced a Gene Pitney song written by Townes Van Zandt?”

Wild Bird is The Coral by numbers, and I like their numbers since day one.
It’s a psych-pop gem at its Coral best. Breezy, and catchy, causing
a feel-so-much-better-now sentiment.
