First spin for James Skelly & The Intenders: 'Love Undercover' & it’s full of life & great melodies. Needless to say, & it’s one of the reasons why I love their songs, there’s that contrast between upbeat musical arrangements & the more contemplative emotions underneath.

🚨SURPRISE DROP! Today a limited 300 copy vinyl version of ‘388’ goes on sale. ‘388 Voice Memos’ are rehearsals of the album songs in their original acoustic format - ideas, sketches and melodies before the songs evolved into the finished article…🚨 (1/2)

This was my first listen to 'Coral Island' back in early May 2021…I was totally blown away. Barely a week has passed since then, without a spin of this masterwork…#TheCoral

I’ll say it again, it’s the resigned sadness that immediately grabs your attention; honest rather than heavy. There’s no over-dramatisation here; the melancholy just exists & it’s the contrast with the melody that makes it hit home so hard. The perfect song! Bill McCai #TheCoral
