Nightfreak and the Sons of Becker

I really started getting into The Coral about fall of last year and caught up on music by them that I had missed. The new limited release "Nightfreak and the Sons of Becker" is the most fun thing they have done to date. Very simple song structures; but what they do within them is so wonderful. Not the least overproduced and from stories I read this release was kind of a spur of the moment decision on their part while they work on releasing what is supposed to be their "real" album. If you like The Kinks circa Village Green / Arthur--you will love this album. This is the most purely entertaining album I've heard in this very young new year. There is only one pressing of 75,000 copies of this (again, from what I have read) and I haven't seen it in Chicago. I ordered out of either Tower or Amazon UK. Definitely a must for Coral fans and a great play at any party.
