Once Upon A Weekend

I Didn't Know Your Name

Following on from their excellent, jangle-tastic 2021 self-titled debut, Chime School's new album "The Boy Who Ran The Paisley Hotel" is as stellar as we could have hoped for — deeper, richer and evolved in every way. While still joyfully packed with janglepop gems, "Paisley Hotel" takes a turn toward the winsome melancholy of groups like East Village, The Go-Betweens, and The Loft, and represents a leap forward in production, composition and arrangement.

Lyrics:

Intro) Once dim, now lit. It's them, not this. What's vague, now known. The clear ink now shown.

Verse1) Back of a drawer, as bright as before we ever found out the daylight always brings more. Lost landscape inside, a glass garden remains. A sensation swimming up to surface though it already sank.

Pre-chorus) The current somehow is too late, but the movement of tomorrow remains. It never is too late for the shedding of the sorrows we make.

Chorus) Once dim, now lit. It's them, not this blanket of blank bliss. In pure light we persist. What's vague now known. The clear ink now shown, the darkness we've outgrown. In the pure light it can't exist.

Verse2) Free to explore, yet entangled ever-more. Will we ever find where the shine forever pours? Cast heartache aside, the spirit can't be contained. A swift realization that beyond this curtain is a heart with no cage.

Pre-chorus2) The moment fading won't wait. For the movement of nightfall remains. The current may fluctuate, though the pull of uncertainty is the same.

Bridge Outro) We can't lt this become "not allowed". This is no matter to ignore. The ill-fact phase we must phase out because in silence we only create more. So we transmit more noise because the stream's not our voice, though we swim it to stay....fully conscious and poised for the sun to rejoin this lacking love with it's rays.

Daydreams On Microfilm - The Pull Of Uncertainty

"Corella set the tone and the bar very high" - BBC Radio 1

"Widescreen indie blessed with emphatic ambition, the results speak for themselves" - Clash Magazine

Buzz phrases are often thrown around frivolously when it comes to new and emerging artists. However, when it comes to describing the immaculate rise of Manchester's CORELLA, applying them feels more than justified.

Performing together since meeting at university, the band's compliment - consisting of Joel Smith (vocals), Jack Taylor (guitar), Ben Henderson (bass) and James Fawcett (drums) - professes a message of youthful confidence in exploring what it is to grow up in the UK today, meting out the challenges thrown their way with a united front.

The music reflects this by blending gorgeously tropical indie-pop tones with emotive lyricism, alongside a stunning live performance that compliments the band's energised delivery beyond what one might consider possible given their young years.

These sentiments have earned them an ever-growing rapturous and loyal fanbase, resulting in numerous sold-out headline tours of the UK, and captivating appearances at the likes of Reading & Leeds, Latitude, Kendal Calling and Neighbourhood Festivals.

Now poised to release their debut album, off the back of a string of releases that have earned them millions of streams, and their biggest headline UK tour to-date announced for October 2023, the realisation of this bona fide North of the UK success story is only set to continue.
