Subscribe for more Liverpool and legendary rare items coming up over the Xmas period. The Coral - Coral Island Double 33rpm 2 × LP on Transluscent Lime Green Vinyl. Exclusive Double Heavyweight Gatefold. Recorded in a sense of barely-controlled, copy and paste chaos at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool, Coral Island was written and performed by the multi-instrumentalist and multi-talented line-up of James Skelly, Ian Skelly, Nick Power, Paul Duffy and Paul Molloy plus a special guest. The wheels rattle into the thrilling unknown on The Coral’s 2022 masterpiece, finding the unsurpassed, metamorphic gonzo-pop five-piece in the company of crooks, sell-by-date candyfloss and plastic skeletons as they release a soundtrack of misplaced memories from a place and time that might never have been. A fresh and vividly evocative body of work from the legendary Merseyside band in the form of their TENTH and first, ever double-album: Coral Island. Squinting into the neon-lit penny arcades and draining an after hours glass with the displaced and dispossessed once the power is pulled, This mischievous Coral Caper concerns listeners with the light, shade, thrills and profound melancholy of coastal palaces packed with fun and fright. Both now & then (or perhaps never) as fiction encroaches on reality, the feverous anticipation of a night amongst the screams, fights and romance of the fair become part of life on the newly-built Coral Island. Welcoming travellers one trepidous step at a time, inspired by the Island’s inhabitants. This is a sprawling diorama purpose-built onto the surreal land mass, populated by surreal sculptural forms, charity shop-finds, looming mountains and gathering storm clouds. So, lets navigate Coral Island at waist-height, via camera-friendly pathways to gather 360 degree soundscapes from inside and outside The Coral’s fascinating, fabricated world. That expansive and ambitious installation provides the album artwork for Coral Island. Almost 19 years after the release of their celebrated, self-titled, Mercury Music Prize-nominated, platinum-certified debut in 2002, kick-starting a decade of classic singles, including Dreaming Of You (now on over 100 million streams globally and gaining UK Platinum status), Pass It On, Don’t Think You’re The First and In The Morning, The Coral move into 2021 as in thrall to the self-endowed gift of creative freedom as they were on day one. The band has sold over a million albums to date. Of their nine albums to date, the last of which, Move Through The Dawn, was released in 2018, five have reached the Top 10 including 2003’s chart-topping Gold-selling Magic and Medicine which saw the band nominated for Best Group at the Brit Awards. Never anything other than wilfully idosyncratic and critically-praised, the follow-up, The Invisible Invasion reached No.3 in the UK Albums Chart and joins it’s predecessor in being certified Gold TRACKLISTING: Side A 1 Welcome To Coral Island 2 Lover Undiscovered 3 Change Your Mind 4 Mist On The River 5 Pavillions Of The Mind 6 Vacancy Side B 7 My Best Friend 8 Arcade Hallucinations 9 The Game She Play 10 Autumn Has Come 11 The End Of The Pier Side C 12 The Ghost Of Coral Island 13 Golden Age 14 Faceless Angel 15 The Great Lafayette 16 Strange Illusions 17 Summertime Side D 18 Telepathic Waltz 19 Old Photographs 20 Watch You Disappear 21 Late Nights At The Borders 22 Land Of The Lost 23 The Calico Girl 24 The Last Entertainer Run On Records/Modern Sky UK Catalogue No: RO1LPX Barcode: 5060732660618 Release Date: 14 Jan 22 I thank you ;-)
