The Coral to Headline Liverpool Sound City 2016 and Release New LP
It’s been half a decade since The Coral last released a new LP, but thankfully they are back next year with Distance Between.
The eighth studio album will be out on Friday March 4 via Ignition Records. Backing up this release will be a UK tour, which includes a London show at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on Wednesday March 16 and a headline show at Liverpool Sound City on May 29.
Distance Between follows on from 2010’s Butterfly House. Recorded live at Liverpool’s Parr Street Studio with co-producer Richard Turvey, it was mostly recorded in one take. The album is dedicated to Alan Wills, The Coral’s early mentor and Deltasonic label boss who lost his life in 2014.
On their latest venture, lead vocalist and guitarist James Skelly explains: "Before we started making the album we had discussed that we wanted it to be more minimal and rhythmical.
“We thought ‘if you've got a rhythm section that’s been playing together for almost twenty years, why not make that the centre of the songs?’"
Dates for the bands 2016 UK tour can be seen below. Tickets go on sale 9am on Friday November 27.
