When a band’s vocalist is also their drummer, it’s time to buckle-up and inspect the
unexpected. Following on from the success of their first three singles which had
critical acclaim from EARMILK, Rolling Stone, Variance Magazine, BBC Introducing
and Amazing Radio amongst others, ‘Something In The Air’ is another must for your
Indie playlist. Based on a vibrant and assertive guitar hook the crunchy indie
vocals describe meeting someone on a night out. But not just ‘anyone’. Someone
you know there is some future with, you just don’t know quite what that future is yet.
An energetic drum beat and sparkling guitar riffs lift the track into its youthful,
sunny sound. Punctuated and played with surprises and depth it speaks of being
present and realising that moment of chemistry across the dance floor.
Coral Palms take the modern, indie music that brought them together: Two Door
Cinema Club, Foals, Fickle Friends, Noisey – the list goes on, and marry it to the
feelings they get from anywhere and everywhere. Their loves, their stories,
memories of music past and people present. Anything from Quincy Jones to David
Bowie, if it moved them, they will make it move you. While these are big shoes to fill,
it’s flip-flops only for a British beach band produced by Adriano, with meticulous
originality.
There aren’t many bands who write music that feels like the personal, private
property of several generations. But Coral Palms, thanks to old-fashioned hard graft,
natural talent and the very highest standards, manage to bring the soul-lifting feel of
a never-ending summer to new heights. Ollie and Will confide, “A lot of the themes in
our lyrics revolve around youthful disarray, angst and of course romance, but
musically, we really just wanted to make tunes that we know we’d bop to at festivals
or at a party.”
Grab a cold beer, feel the sand between your toes and dance beneath a blood
orange sunset, but pay close attention. This is no ‘Spring Break’, this is indie pop
wrapped in nostalgia with a contemporary cutting edge. The great British Summer
may never sound the same again.
