28 April 2010 The Coral announce new single, album and UK dates

Celebrating almost a decade of existence, Liverpool’s The Coral are pleased to announce details of their forthcoming album ‘Butterfly House’ and UK dates.

 

Having arrived back in 2001 and almost immediately marking themselves out as mavericks The Coral have consolidated their critical and commercial acclaim with five Top 10 albums and a slew of hit singles to boot. The band’s last album ‘Singles Collection’ followed what was their last studio album ‘ Roots & Echoes’ in 2007 which The Observer Review described as “A gem of a record” whilst a critic at Q magazine was moved to say “ James Skelly is one of the finest writers , and voices in British music today Butterfly House’ is the hotly anticipated album which has been talked about and mooted since the band’s studio sessions at the latter end of 2009 and will be released on 12th July and their first since the (amicable) departure of Bill Ryder-Jones. It will be pre-empted by the single ‘1000 Years’ on 5th July.

 

Recorded in both London and Liverpool with John Leckie at the production controls, ‘Butterfly House’ and ‘1000 Years’ will be released through the Deltasonic label.
