The Coronas – Trust The Wire (Vinyl)

The fifth album from Dublin's Coronas, and the sound of a band betting on themselves. Written in an isolated cottage in Dingle after a four-year London stint, it was released on their own So Far So Good label and promptly became the band's first Irish number one. Produced by Eliot James (Two Door Cinema Club, Kaiser Chiefs), it marks a subtle shift towards a more understated, spacious sound, with electronic textures and slow-building arrangements framing Danny O'Reilly's ever-reliable melodies. From the muted swirl of opener We Couldn't Fake It through the funk-tinged Real Feel to the tender closer Look At All The Lovers, it's an album about self-belief and trusting your instincts, made at the exact moment the band needed to do both.
