THE INVISIBLE INVASION

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
'In the Morning' is The Coral's first single off the Invisible Invasion and has already reached the #1 slot on the UK airplay charts. Meanwhile, the UK music press has been unanimous in it's praise of the album with Mojo raving in a four-star review. Columbia. 2005. [Note: This product is an authorized CD-R and is manufactured on demand]

On their fourth outing, the Coral are anything but obvious or heavy-handed. On the contrary, delicacy and understatement define the British septets latest. The 1960s shake hands with the 1980s in their wistful pop, yet they never--or very rarely, at any rate--come across as a retro act. At their best, they sound like Madness circa "Tomorrow's (Just Another Day)" (must be that organ) or Echo & the Bunnymen circa "Lips Like Sugar" (James Skelly could be Ian McCullochs little brother). With its chugging, train-like rhythm and haunting chorus, "She Sings the Mourning" sounds like the theme to a lost Tom Courtenay film, while the enchanting "So Long Ago" evokes Sondre Lerche's gentle folk-pop. Then there are others, like the perfectly pleasant "Leaving Today" and "Come Home," where the Coral almost cross that fine line dividing tasteful from dull, but there are no real duds on The Invisible Invasion. --Kathleen C.
