專輯介紹:
While the fiery rock & roll spirit of the La's Lee Mavers courses through their veins, the debut album by youthful Liverpudlian mystics the Coral prove they are far more than Merseybeat imitators. The opening 'Spanish Main' ('We've set sail again! / We're heading for the Spanish Main!') casts the sextet as marauding pirates, out to pillage musical history for loot. It's possible to hear the influence of everything from Captain Beefheart to Miles Davis, from Spanish mariachi music to Cossack dance rhythms, surfacing between the tight, ragged grooves of 'I Remember When' and 'Shadows Fall.' This album is stuffed to bursting point with ideas that are presented with remarkable clarity. Highlights are the curious, swooping fable of 'Simon Diamond' and the insane 'Skeleton Key,' which finds frontman James Skelly croaking, 'Solid gold skeleton key / Opens the most intricate lock / Brother, roll another for me / I am shipwrecked on the rocks!' as his bandmates caw like parrots in the background. --Louis Pattison
