█▓█ The ESC release from today was missing one track that is on our copy.
█▓█
█▓█ ------------------------------------------------------------------------
█▓█
█▓█ Let's get this straight from the start: there will not be many better
█▓█ albums coming from these shores this year. The Coral's second album in
█▓█ as many summers suggests even more urgently that that landmark album
█▓█ that's so patently within their grasp is tantalisingly close. This,
█▓█ however, is not it. Not quite. It is still, nevertheless, a quite
█▓█ dazzling album.
█▓█
█▓█ And it's still infinitely more imaginative than the output of most
█▓█ British guitar bands. At this point in their short career, The Coral
█▓█ remain in love with their own fabulous playing abilities, with their
█▓█ magpie gift for appropriation of just about any musical style they try
█▓█ to fully realise. They can do bossa nova, they can do country, blues,
█▓█ psych-out, psychedelia, bluegrass, folk, vaudeville... it's all within
█▓█ their powers, sometimes all at once. But what they do most effectively
█▓█ is write brutally concise and beautiful pop songs, and they're writing
█▓█ more and more of them.
█▓█
█▓█ The two singles on this album are good each-way bets for the Single Of
█▓█ The Year trophy: 'Don't Think You're The First' and 'Pass It On' are
█▓█ both bittersweet ruminations on the nature of love and death, the
█▓█ former reeking of a psychedelic nobility not heard of since The
█▓█ Teardrop Explodes, the latter shining like some lost Gram Parsons
█▓█ jewel. Both are short, melodic and moulded into shape by James
█▓█ Skelly's majestically soulful howl. Is there a better young white
█▓█ singer in the UK today? Nope. Is there a more experimentally gifted
█▓█ group of musicians in the country (especially supernatural guitarist
█▓█ Bill)? Probably not, and thereby hangs The Coral's gift and curse.
█▓█
█▓█ At times, it's like they've discovered they're brilliant linguists and
█▓█ have all decided to speak different languages at once. The result, as
█▓█ on 'Gypsy Market Blues' and the latter half of 'Confessions', is
█▓█ confusing. What are they trying to say? Where are they trying to take
█▓█ us? To far-out, far-way places? Well, they manage those feats so much
█▓█ better on the aforementioned singles, and on other flashes of concise
█▓█ inspiration such as the organ-driven mystery of 'In The Forest', the
█▓█ contemplative folk laments of 'Liezah' and 'Careless Hands', or the
█▓█ Tamla-Jam-bop of 'Bill McCai'. Some of the wackiness works, such as
█▓█ 'Milkwood Blues' with its sudden burst of mysterious violin and piano.
█▓█ But often, it obscures the band's real gifts.
█▓█
█▓█ These are nothing more, though, than the frustrated quibbles of a
█▓█ parent with a particularly brilliant child. The Coral will get there,
█▓█ they will make their masterpiece and soon. Alas, to get there, key
█▓█ members will probably have to endure broken hearts, wrecked dreams and
█▓█ betrayal, but a little painful living intruding on their psychedelic
█▓█ dreams will do us all good. In the meantime, we'll have to make-do
█▓█ with nothing more than brilliance.
█▓█
█▓█ Ted Kessler
