The Coral

by The Coral

The 684th greatest album of all time

The Coral is the self-titled 2002 debut album by the English band The Coral. It blends indie rock, folk rock and jangle pop with 1960s psychedelic and vintage pop influences, featuring chiming guitars, prominent organ textures and close vocal harmonies. Songs move between upbeat, jangly numbers and more atmospheric, folk-tinged pieces, highlighting the group's melodic focus and retro-inspired arrangements while introducing the sound that would define their early work.
