The Coral
Wirral band whose jangling, sea-salted psychedelia runs from the breakout pop of 'Dreaming of You' to eerie, folk-tinged records steeped in faded seaside towns.

About The Coral
The Coral formed in Hoylake on the Wirral around singer James Skelly, with his brother Ian on drums, Paul Duffy on bass, Nick Power on keyboards and, in the early years, Bill Ryder-Jones on guitar. Signed to Liverpool's Deltasonic label, they released a self-titled debut that was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize, and Magic and Medicine, which went to number one in the UK.
Their music mixes Merseybeat harmonies, sea shanties, 60s garage rock and west coast psychedelia. Later albums such as Coral Island, a double record about a fictional seaside resort, moved toward a quieter, more haunted mood.
