about

"Today, Pearly are unveiling their first official single, “Chain Of Coral.” (It’s accompanied by another song called “Feelings Of Plenty.”) It’s the first in a series of singles set for release through the rest of this year, before a vinyl EP in February. Here’s what Leech had to say about the new track:

Sometimes all you have is the hope that there will be hope, and that can be enough. “Chain Of Coral” explores that. There’s a straight A major at the end of this song and it was a big deal for us to add that in. That’s the light, the hope for hope. In terms of our process we’re pretty minimal in our attitude so every decision can be a big decision. We’re slow creatures, but once the work is done and the ink has set, we hope the songs can wash over people, like watching a dance or studying a fire. We’ve been in such an intense and creative place with the music that we almost forgot about the sharing part. It’s both exciting and strange to release these songs.

Studying a fire — that’s a pretty apt comparison for “Chain Of Coral.” The duo’s melody weaves in and out of focus initially, like tips of flames moving in unpredictable yet still natural arcs. The song becomes entrancing in the same ways as the images Leech evokes, drawing you in with one flare, one faded hook, before encouraging you to get lost in its currents. It’s a sighing, beautiful composition." Ryan Leas, Stereogum

LYRICS
I am drowning man
Since the day I was born
Mermaids swim around me
Give peace of mind
Let me back to the watery warm
Where I can rest

Atlantis my full glass
My atlantis at last

Watery star cuts through the waves
Watery star some days

There's a piano
On the ocean floor
Playing a song
I'm drinking it in
Let me back to the watery warm
Where I can rest

Atlantis my full glass
My atlantis at last
Chain of coral round my neck
The mayor of sand and kelp
Atlantis my full glass
My atlantis at last

Watery star cuts through the waves
Watery star some days
