roots and echoes

if you have never heard the coral, i could play you any of their songs and you would think it was recorded in 67'. the coral have always sounded like a band from the best part of the 60's. it's not just their style, but the recording technique, lyrics etc. unlike many other groups who mimic that period of music, the coral never come off sounding like a novelty. roots and echoes is their fourth album, and they continue to do what they do best. this album has a softer side than some of their previous releases. songs like fireflies & music at night weave a trippy dreamlike spell while on remember me, the coral play around with their signature "pirate sound". don't be frightened by the word pirate, you just need to here it for yourself. the video below is who's gonna find me, trippy and psychedelic, it's a good gauge for the band if you are new to them. roots and echoes is a perfect choice for my number seven album of the year.
