The Coral have unveiled a wonderful video to accompany their fantastic new single "Eyes Like Pearls", which you can watch first via The Independent.

"Eyes Like Pearls" is the latest single from the band's upcoming album Move Through The Dawn, which is being released via Ignition Records on 10 August.

The animated video was directed, animated and produced by Neil McLean, and is described by Coral frontman James Skelly as "a cross between Button Moon and Short Circuit".

"It puts a whole new spin on the song," he adds. "We love it, Neil did a great job."

Watch the video below:

After a five-year hiatus, The Coral came back with their 2016 record Distance Inbetween, and are set to pick things up again with this upcoming release.

The band have cited Phil Spector's 70s albums with The Ramones and Dion as a key influence on Move Through The Dawn: music which brought "a big sound" whilst holding onto a sense of innocence.

They recently announced a UK headline tour for autumn 2018 and will also appear at festivals through the summer in celebration of the release of Move Through The Dawn.

Move Through The Dawn is released on 10 August via Ignition Records and is available to pre-order now.
