THE CORAL – Butterfly House
05.09.2010 Filed in: Reviews
Universal
***1/2
After Alex Turners Humbug, I have got feeling that all interesting what should British guitar bands say has been said, until Coral filled up my ears by new optimism. Proximity of Liverpool air, sign of 60-ties psychedelics, and country, folk and modern pop-rock radiates from their new release. Album breathes with coastal atmosphere and British bleak, but don’t wait any dirges. James Skelly sings freely and with charisma. Even The Coral on face of it sounds like another one guitar band, just listen to it carefully. I warmly recommend.
