The Coral release new track ‘After the Fair’
The Coral have just unveiled their brand new single After The Fair, taken from their upcoming album, Move Through The Dawn, set to arrive next Friday, August 10th, on Ignition Records. This is a super smooth folk-infused song and I love the acoustic guitar fingerpicking. To accompany the release the guys unveiled an evocative video which was filmed in Llandudno and directed by James Slater. Watch it below!
Speaking about the release frontman James Skelly said,
It started off as a take on Bert Jansch's version of Jackson C Frank's 'Blues Run The Game. Nick is really good at acoustic fingerpicking, and I wanted it to sound like Lindsay Buckingham, to take away from the obvious folk thing.
Nick Power added,
Fingerpicking is actually the only guitar style I can play. We generally have a stockpile of songs, and this one is actually from the 'Butterfly House' period but it made the perfect ending to this album.
