Briain Kelly, 24 Aug
The Coronas have released ‘Ghosting’ this month, the third single to be
released from their eighth studio album, Thoughts & Observations, due on
September 27.
“My friends know I’ve kinda got it bad, I will make it up to them, when
you’re not around,” sings lead singer Danny O’Reilly in the chorus,
lyrically wearing his heart on his sleeve in a catchy, quirky and honest
mid-tempo tune that fans are bound to love.
The band are fresh from playing an intimate show for the Irish Olympic
teams at Team Ireland House in Paris last Thursday, August 8, another
career milestone.
Before the album release next month, they’re playing a gig at Galway
Summer Sessions on August 24, and they’ve just added two American dates to
their international schedule, in NYC and Boston in November, before they
head to Australia.
Produced by Grammy award-winning, long-time collaborator, George Murphy
(Mumford and Sons, The Specials, Ellie Goulding), written in Dingle,
County Kerry and recorded in Eastcote Studios in London, Thoughts &
Observations is a powerful, melodic record which takes an incisive look at
life, relationships and art.
The cover art for Thoughts & Observations is immediately striking.
Designer Luke Sean Murphy collaborated with the band and, inspired by
renowned graphic designer and prop maker Annie Atkins, they decided to
utilise a cut-and-paste layered aesthetic with a distinctly 1970s colour
palette.
This design is carried through all artwork pertaining to the album and
singles, giving it a cohesive and instantly recognisable vibe.
“We are so proud of our longevity,” says O’Reilly. “And we’re really
excited to release the new album in the autumn. We feel like it’s our
strongest album to date.”
