It's difficult to believe that it was sixteen years ago this summer that The Coral elbowed their way into the national consciousness with their debut album that included the barnstorming hit single Dreaming of You. Since then the band has gone from likeable Merseyside rogues to one of the most consistently acclaimed alternative acts in the country, whilst also notching up several other hit singles such as Pass It On and In The Morning.New track Sweet Release is the first single from their upcoming ninth studio album Move Through The Dawn which is out in August and it's fair to say it's a perfect choice for a lead single. It's a song that instantly reels you in with it's simple, upbeat melodies and the psychedelic tinged guitars wouldn't sound out of place on Noel Gallagher's latest album, or indeed any Super Furry Animals LP.
If the singles chart landscape was the same as it was sixteen years ago then I would be backing Sweet Release with it's catchy, indie pop vibes to be another hit for The Coral. As it is it's a perfect precursor to an album which might just prove to be an even sweeter release.
