The Coral have released a new single called That's Where She Belongs.
The summery acoustic track couples elements of psych-pop with folk, and serves as the latest preview of their new album, 'Sea Of Mirrors', due out on September 8 alongside another record titled 'Holy Joe’s Coral Island Medicine Show'. Singer-songwriter James Skelly said:
"This was me chasing sunlit shadows, trying to capture the beauty of the summer. For some strange reason, I feel a duty to do that from time to time. It didn’t work first time around but we took it into the studio and used some old tricks we’ve learned – editing the violins into the chorus, turning almost everything backwards and adding some Glenn Campbell guitars – and we came out with the hazy summer psychedelia the album needed to break up the intensity."
The Coral have already shared Wild Bird and Oceans Apart from the first LP, the latter featuring a vocal cameo from Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy. The ambitious project is informed by spaghetti-Western scores and sees former The Coral member Bill Ryder-Jones contributing to the songwriting, marking his first work with the band since his departure in 2008.
The Wirral group previously teased 'Holy Joe’s Coral Island Medicine Show' with the song Drifter's Prayer featuring narration from actor John Simm.
The Coral will tour the UK in spring 2024, with each night billed as an intimate evening of music and conversation with Skelly and the band's multi-instrumentalist Nick Power.
