The Coral have dropped their 13th album on the world unannounced.

“Bootleg is a compilation of songs written and recorded overtime with no particular intent or goal in mind,” the pair said in a statement. “This album is and was purely a pleasurable endeavor by us both. Every track has its own meaning or story, not unlike a chapter book of different narratives.”

Aaron Dessner, who produced her first two albums, returns for DFH. She teased the new single at the Met Gala last week, telling , "It's the introduction to this new chapter and I feel grateful and relieved that this is the introduction.

Rain Music started as a session combining Timothy's prepared piano and Niño's percussion at the former composer's south London studio.

'END TO KNOWING YOU' transcends the boundaries of conventional love songs, delivering a poignant exploration of the dichotomy between desire and detachment.
