The album was was self-produced and recorded in Parr Street Studios, Liverpool with fellow Coral members and also members of The Sundowners and Tramp Attack. It will be released on 3rd June via Skeleton Key Records.
The group have announced that they will tour, starting in Leeds on 6th June and will also play Sheffield, Liverpool, Birmingham, London, Bristol and finishing at Manchester's Gorilla on 15th June.
Do It Again is available as a free download via their website and the album was recorded quickly, often in one or two live takes. This shows a more direct and immediate approach, says Skelly, rather than the more abstract stuff The Coral did. But it is very much a band effort and Skelly is keen to point out that Love Undercover isn’t merely an aside to his previous ‘day job’.
“The name is about letting people know it’s not just me and an acoustic guitar,” Skelly says. “I had the songs, but it became a proper group thing very quickly with everyone involved having a big input. It’s that Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers idea.”
