The Coronas Tickets

A decade on from their debut, having toured the world, topped the charts and surpassed their teenage dreams, it’s no surprise that The Coronas are surer of their strengths and readier to take risks. Trust the Wire fizzes with ambition, often in ways you wouldn’t expect from a band famed for their sing-alongs. Acoustic guitars still feature, but take a back seat to synths and organs. There’s both a subtlety and a stately grandeur to songs that now swell in size and scope, rather than bound straight to big. Dreamy vocoder vocals, electronic drums and space as much as sound make for mesmerising music that steeps the listener in lyrics that are as searingly honest as ever, but more intimate and inward-looking than before.
