The Coral’s James Skelly was mindful not to raise expectations when news broke of The Curse of Love's unearthing two years into the band’s hiatus. He needn't have worried. Recorded on a Tascam eight-track in 2006 just after the The Invisible Invasion’s completion, this is the most glorious sort of forgotten treasure. It’s a sombre, dream-like psych-folk set which drifts by beautifully. “Wrapped In Blue” is a taut late night refocussing of their jangly melodica, the propulsive “The Watcher In The Distance” is a masterclass in rock restraint while the Beatles-esque “Gently” is a gorgeous lullaby.
