Overview Edit

Roots & Echoes is the fourth full-length studio album by English indie rock band The Coral. It was released on August 6, 2007, and debuted in the UK Albums Chart at #8, the lowest entry in that chart for the band (see 2007 in British music). It subsequently dropped out of the top 20 in its second week and had fallen out of the top 50 by its third week in the chart. The band did not subsequently tour for the album very much, appearing at Glastonbury and supporting the Arctic Monkeys on a few dates around Ireland and the UK.

Unlike the band's first four albums, Roots & Echoes has yet to be released in the United States, only available there as an import or via digital download.

Their sound has always been a mix of folk, sixties psychedelia and pop, and this is no different. Every song is brilliant; "Who's gonna find me" and the melodic "Jaqueline" (both bouncy, songs with a Motown feel), "Remember me" (jangly guitars, bouncy beat, and creepy ef…

3 stars I'm waiting for the breakout
I really like the faux soul of Put The Sun Back. Sometimes the album slips into the easy listening a little too readily. The harmonies are great but the songwriting is average. I don't really feel the touch of the Gallagher brothers that much--beyond the inherent smoothness they bring to the chord changes. I wish that there was more acoustic songwriting in the style of Lizza off Magic & Medicine, but whatever.
