Free Music Notes for Roots & Echoes
Free Music Review: Just perfect.
Hit: 5 Stars
If you enjoyed 'Magic & Medicine' then buy 'Roots & Echoes' without hesitation. There are no holes in this collection of beautiful, thrilling songs that have a slight 60's feel.
Another reviewer has described this album as kind of "country" in feel - possibly. I'm no fan of country music and none of these songs makes me cringe the way that genre can. Rather, they express feeling with a sincerity and, quite frankly, a sweetness of spirit that is rare these days - especially from a bunch of guys.
Lead singer James Skelly is unafraid to travel in veins of almost childlike simplicity in his music and lyrics. Some of the songs are so easy and unforced that they sound as if they are covers of songs that are already well known and loved. As with all great music, the illusion is that creating this collection was like rolling off a log.
The only other recent release, that's come to my attention, that compares in consistency and quality is Radiohead's 'In Rainbows' (although, obviously, the two are different in style). This is without doubt the best record that The Coral have made. It's good to see them embrace their talent wholeheartedly and do away with the wilfully non-commercial work of their last CD.
Roots & Echoes Poster
2007 album the eccentric Britpoppers. The album was recorded at OasisEWheeler End Studios and produced by Craig Silvey (The Magic Numbers) during the opening months of 2007 and mixed in London throughout April. The Coral are one of the UKs most successful bands with eight Top 40 singles since their debut in 2001 The Coral find themselves as the possessors of four Top 5 albums at an age when many bands are still breaking through. Lead singer, James Skelly is the oldest member at just 26. The influence of The Coral on a generation of bands is hard to overstate, they returned the art of British Pop song writing to the charts and gathered influential fans along the way. One being Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys who has invited the band to support them on their European tour this summer and Lancashire County Cricket Ground shows. Columbia.Roots & Echoes marks something of a change of scenery for The Coral. Not so long ago, it was all lepers, sea shanties, and lonely suicides round their ends, but this-?the follow-up to 2005?s The Invisible Invasion--tells quite a different tale. Recorded at Oasis? home studio in Buckinghamshire at the personal request of the Brothers Gallagher, this record captures the band casting out much of the bad vibes and concentrating on making a warm, vintage-sounding record with classic appeal. Of course, they can?t help throwing in the odd spot of heart-in-mouth high tragedy-?"Remember Me", a fraught tale of a very one-sided love affair, concludes with a howl of guitar and a final spasm of drums as vocalist James Skelly discovers the girl he carries a torch for has a ring on her finger. Elsewhere, though, there?s beautifully recorded excursions into classic soul ("Put The Sun Back"), acoustic-tinged bossa nova ("Not So Lonely"), and Doors-like organ jams ("She?s Got a Reason") which prove, as if there were any doubt, that this band have chops beyond the ability to bash out a ragged sea shanty or two. It is, in short, the sound of a more mature Coral, and while there are surely some fans who?ll choose now to jump ship, disappointed at the lack of piratical adventure, all in all it?ll be their loss. ?-Louis Pattison
