This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
The Coral's much-anticipated debut album features a psychedelic cover one might expect to find on a tattered, dog-eared LP at some ex-hippie's garage sale. While the music within does often sound spun by someone who spends days sitting in dark rooms, contemplating a chaotic world while soaking in Screamin' Jay Hawkins or some obscure otherworldly find, there is something contemporary in the style. Perhaps it's the ability to draw from many sources, from the knifepoint pop sensibilities of the Kinks to the grinding fire of Jimi Hendrix.
Though they enter on the heels of a glut of nostalgia-tinged bands (Soundtrack of Our Lives, Vines, Hives, etc.), the Coral cast a bit of a wider net on their debut, shapeshifting styles, sometimes even on the same song. "Goodbye" opens with a blistering riff and slips into a darkly melodic Doors-ish middle section before breaking down to a Dave Clark Five-esque chorale at the end. And the sextet proves it can produce an unforgettable rock song on the haunting "Waiting For the Heartaches."
