Editor's note

The Coral's psychedelic folk and shifting sound

A Hoylake band that started with 'Dreaming Of You' and kept evolving through albums like 'Magic and Medicine'.

For a quick sense of their range, try 'Dreaming Of You' from the debut and something like 'Pass It On' from later on.

The Coral's debut in 2002 brought a mix of psychedelic melodies and folk touches that felt fresh, with songs like 'Dreaming Of You' catching ears right away. They didn't stick to one lane, adding soul and funk on later records. Even through lineup changes and legal trouble over 'In the Rain,' they kept putting out music that feels both rooted and restless.

They formed in Hoylake in 1996 and released their self-titled debut in 2002. After albums like 'Magic and Medicine' and 'Roots & Echoes,' guitarist Bill Ryder-Jones left in 2008, but they've continued recording and touring since.
