The Coral premiere Reaching Out For A Friend promo

The Coral have premiered their video for Reaching Out For A Friend, taken from the band’s latest album Move Through The Dawn.

Directed by Dom Foster, it features artwork from drummer Ian Skelly, who says: ““I’’ve been making animation videos with Dom Foster for a few years now. “I hand drew all the characters and Dom brought them to life. I hope everyone loves it as much as we do.””

‘The Coral have never been bothered with trends or music fashion, always operating on their own terms, both keys to their longevity and earning them national treasure status’, we said in our Move Through The Dawn review:

“Sweet Release is a step back into their last sound, its fuzzy rhythm guitars making it something of an oddity here, but is no less a good tune for that. It doesn’t really go anywhere but is so water-tight as to be compulsive. Love Or Solution also harkens back, the inflection and melody akin to the joyful parts of Magic & Medicine. It’s an introspective love song, questioning the societal rules of settling down and sounding like Del Shannon in the process. The Coral have always had open ears. Splendid stuff.”
