After a five year hiatus, The Coral are returning for a run of tour dates to showcase new studio album Distance Inbetween in the spring. 

Following their previous record Butterfly House, the five piece recorded Distance Inbetween (watch the teaser below) live in Liverpool's infamous Parr St Studio. 

On the new album, James Skelly said: "“We thought ‘if you've got a rhythm section that’s been playing together for almost twenty years, why not make that the centre of the songs?’."
