Move through the dawn

"They change styles from record to record -- sometimes song to song -- like some people change their profile pics, but they never lose the qualities, like top-notch songcraft, well-built arrangements, and Skelly's voice, that make them a great guitar pop band. They may have done some drastic reshuffling and tried some new things on Move Through the Dawn, but it's a Coral record at its core and it's one of their most satisfying, too".

"Move Through the Dawn sounds like the Coral are confident and pushes forward from Distance Inbetween. The album is a strong statement for a band that emerged amidst the guitar rock of the early 2000s and stubbornly built success and a career on retro interests and stylistic cues. That makes Move Through the Dawn enjoyable, even while its inconsistencies mark a stark difference from its predecessor or other Coral albums, like the overlooked Roots & Echoes (2007) or the lost The Curse of Love (2014)".

"Move Through The Dawn finds them stubbornly occupying a headspace in which brevity, traditional songcraft and hooks that surreptitiously bury themselves into your deepest crenulations, like pangs of conscience administered by lampreys, are the guiding principles. There were always as many Neil Diamond albums as Doors albums in The Coral's stereogram cabinet, so this characteristic reverse swing of the pendulum is hardly news".
