The Coral - Who's Gonna Find Me

Few bands can claim to have enjoyed as much success before their mid-20s as The Coral. With three and a half hit albums in the can, the Mersey progenitors of so-called cosmic scouse took a much needed sabbatical after 2005's Invisible Invasion. This comeback single is a reminder of the pure retro musicality that won over so many fans. Over a standard-issue 60s drumbeat, psychedelic guitars swirl and screech whilst lavish vocal harmonies recall – oddly enough – 70s super-groups like The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac. With touchstones like these, 'cutting-edge' is not a label you'd pin on The Coral. But it is near-immaculate guitar pop. [Nick Mitchell]
