The Invisible Invasion, the Coral's fourth studio album, came out on Deltasonic on 23 May 2005, and the Hoylake band handed the controls to Geoff Barrow and Adrian Utley of Portishead. After the stopgap mini album Nightfreak and the Sons of Becker, they cut it mostly at Monnow Valley Studio, with extra work at Elevator Studios, and the result is psychedelia pared right back: James Skelly's voice and the twin guitars of Lee Southall and Bill Ryder-Jones set in plenty of air, with Paul Duffy's bass, Ian Skelly's drums and Nick Power's keys keeping it spooky and close.
"In the Morning" led the way as a single, followed by "Something Inside of Me". The band backed it at Glastonbury and T in the Park and in three support slots with Oasis, all without Ryder-Jones, who was out with a stress-related illness. Reviews were mostly warm, it reached number five in the UK and it eventually went gold there.
