The album, released over the weekend, features songs that were previously unreleased and a mixture of covers and tracks they have written since being in lockdown. This is their first piece of music since their 2018 album ‘Move Through The Dawn’.

The band first announced this album would be released on their social media pages and it was released only a few hours later. The album also features a cover of the Oasis song ‘Married with Children’.

More recently, lead singer James Skelly has found himself on the other side of the board acting as a producer for Blossoms new album ‘Foolish Loving Spaces’. This was released to both critical and chart success.

The Coral emerged in the early 2000’s with their eponymous debut album debuting at number 5 in the charts. The popular single ‘Dreaming of you’ was also featured on the album. 

They have been ever present in the UK indie scene and with 10 albums already released, they have shown almost no sign of slowing up. In the early years of the band, they had already shown their songwriting ability and they had caught the eye of famous bands such as Oasis and the Arctic Monkeys.

Watch as James Skelly teams up with Blossoms to play ‘Dreaming of you’;

Being made up of two brothers, Ian and James Skelly, the band has hit considerable heights in their time with a lot in front of them and still to come from them. They have already gone down as cult heroes, by the time they are done they will no doubt be legends.
