And what a statement it is! A double-album, vividly themed around an imagined\/misremembered world of wild rides and desolate winter fairgrounds, it\u2019s purposely devised to cut against the streaming age and fulfil the band\u2019s overdue ambition of making their White Album. It\u2019s everything you expect from The Coral\u2026 the unexpected.<\/p>\n<p>The wheels rattle into the thrilling unknown on THE CORAL\u2019s first new music since 2018, finding the unsurpassed, metamorphic gonzo-pop five-piece in the company of crooks, sell- by-date candyfloss and plastic skeletons as they release Faceless Angel. Of misplaced memories from a place and time that might never have been, the track precedes a new and vividly evocative body of work from the legendary Merseyside band in the form of their TENTH and first, ever double-album: <em>Coral Island.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Welcoming travellers one trepidous step at a time, &#8216;Faceless Angel&#8217; sits amongst a series of promised audio visual portraits of and inspired by the Island\u2019s inhabitants. Conceived and created by artist, Edwin Burdis, the single\u2019s video was filmed \u2018on\u2019 <em>Coral Island<\/em> itself, a sprawling diorama purpose-built inside a deserted Chinese restaurant in Cardiff. It\u2019s the band and fans\u2019 first venture onto the surreal land mass, populated by surreal sculptural forms, charity shop-finds, looming mountains and gathering storm clouds. Filmed in debt to the traditional model-based filmmaking methods of greats like George Lucas or Ray Harryhausen, Burdis navigated <em>Coral Island<\/em> at waist-height and via camera-friendly pathways to gather 360 degree footage from inside and outside his and THE CORAL\u2019s<br \/>\nfascinating, fabricated world. The expansive and ambitious installation also provides the album artwork for <em>Coral Island<\/em> as well as designs for &#8216;Faceless Angel&#8217; and future singles.<\/p>\n<p>Indebted in part to the classic pre-Beatles rock and roll era of Duane Eddy and Chuck Berry alongside the clattering of a weary ghost train\u2019s rusted wheels on worn steel, &#8216;Faceless Angel&#8217;s&#8217; title evokes DC Comics ominous occult detective series, Hellblazer and the broken character of the strip\u2019s protagonist, John Constantine.<\/p>\n<span class=\"synved-social-container synved-social-container-share\"><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F4461&#038;t=New%20Music%21%20The%20Coral%20%E2%80%93%20Faceless%20Angel&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F4461&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F01%2FThe-Coral-Faceless-Angel-Launch-Pic-Lo.jpg&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=New%20Music%21%20The%20Coral%20%E2%80%93%20Faceless%20Angel\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F4461&#038;text=New%20post%20on%20our%20site\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=New%20Music%21%20The%20Coral%20%E2%80%93%20Faceless%20Angel&#038;body=New%20post%20on%20our%20site:%20https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F4461\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s no band like them and now THE CORAL announce their TENTH studio album, Coral Island,\u00a0 by releasing the jukebox strut of &#8216;Faceless Angel&#8217;, vividly themed around an imagined\/misremembered world of wild rides and desolate winter fairgrounds..
