Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I can't quite put my finger on the reason why, but Butterfly House isn't doing it for me with quite the alacrity of previous Coral albums.
It's just as impeccably wrought, and James Skelly's lonely voice brings an austere authenticity to some songs – particularly on "Walking in the Winter", a sort of seasonal equivalent to "Here Comes the Sun" – though overall it lacks the gripping quality of their earlier work, with too many routine exercises like "Green Is the Colour" and "Two Faces". The folksy, psychedelic mood is captured well by John Leckie, with "Butterfly House" a CSN-style harmony fantasia, and "Falling All Around You" recalling the innocent tone of early Simon & Garfunkel; but this kind of retro-folk-rock has been done so much better recently by Midlake on The Courage of Others.
