It’s been a busy summer. Since the
release of their last single, The Coral have conquered the
festival circuit, slain Top Of The Pops and adorned the NME
front cover and, of course, ‘met a few aliens along the
way’. All in a month’s work, really.
Taken from their Panasonic Mercury Music Prize nominated and
top-five bothering debut album, stand-out moment Dreaming
Of You is currently blaring out of most households’ wireless’.
With more hooks than a Peter Pan costume party and harmonies
layered like Mississippi Mud Pie, this is The Coral purifying
their rich syrup of ideas through the filter of keen melody
rather than hurling it gaily from your stereo. Unsurprisingly,
it’s a winner.
Spread over a two-CD set, Dreaming Of You comes backed with
four new bijous of musical plundering in order for continued
chart eligibility. CD1 features classic live favourite Follow
The Sun - the one that guitarist Lee penned and sings on and
Answer Me. CD2 comes with more recent live favourite Sweet
Sue and equally sweet acoustic lament Another Turn In The
Lock.
