the Coral

Bill Ryder Jones' new album is fantastic, very different to the others he's done. He seems to getting much more attention this time round.

A track off West Kirby County Primary came up on my Discover Weekly and for whatever reason, this and Yawn are sounding perfect this afternoon, particularly the latter. That drifting, midwest-emo inflected slowcore is very much my bag.

Happy to see a revive... I've been listening to Bill Ryder-Jones a lot recently, especially Yawn. Brilliant album and it's been really hitting the spot for me too this summer/autumn. As in my comment above regarding The Coral, I very much regret that I didn't pay more attention to him from the beginning.

have avoided this lots stuff that's always in the bins, but yesterday after this revival i spotted a mint 2cd edition of 'butterfly house' in a charity shop for 50p, so decided to give it a go.
after 3 listens i have decided that it's really enjoyable byrds-esque guitar pop.
will probably pick up their other charity bin fillers when i get the chance.

Feels like there should be a Bill Ryder-Jones thread. New album is excellent.

That would be great. I've really come to love his music. We saw him a couple of weeks ago on the low-key album launch solo acoustic dates, which was great, then are catching the 'proper' tour in March as well.

Whereas, I finally saw The Coral live in December and was pretty non-plussed, and I wasn't really taken by their most recent album.
