Coral Island

The Coral

A sprawling double album of haunted seaside psychedelia. Spoken-word interludes and organ-drenched folk-rock create a vivid, nostalgic world of faded coastal glamour.

A sprawling, cinematic meditation on nostalgia and the faded glory of the British coast.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the eerie spoken-word intro into the sun-drenched, jangly optimism of Golden Age.
The way the organ swells and recedes like a tide during the melancholic bridge of Faceless Angel.
The immersive field recordings of arcade machines and seagulls that bridge the two halves of the double album.
