James Skelly & The Intenders have announced details of the release of their debut album. ‘Love Undercover’ will be released through Skeleton Key Records on June 3.
‘Do It Again’ is the first taster of the album and currently available as a free download via their website www.jamesskellyandtheintenders.com
Following the release of the last Coral album, 2010’s ‘Butterfly House’, Skelly retreated to their Wirral rehearsal studios with a revolving cast of characters including Coral cohorts and members of the Sundowners and Tramp Attack to begin work on the record that would become ‘Love Undercover’.
Recorded quickly, often in one or two live takes, the 11 short, sharp and instant pop songs of Love Undercover show a more direct and immediate approach. “The Coral stuff was a bit more abstract I guess,” says Skelly. “These songs are really direct, straight to the point.”
