Speaking to NME last year, the band’s frontman James Skelly said he was “surprised at how good [The Coral’s debut album] is” after revisiting it recently, “when you think a load of kids did that.”

The Coral released their 10th studio effort, ‘Coral Island’, back in April. In a four-star review, NME wrote: ”Immerse yourself in this heavily themed epic and you’ll be rewarded with a nostalgic trip that showcases some of their most adventurous writing to date.”
