Corella Announce New Album ‘A Beautiful World To Lose’ And Share Uplifting Single ‘Simple Life’

Manchester indie risers Corella have announced details of their second album A Beautiful World To Lose, set for release on 18th September. Alongside the announcement, the band have unveiled their vibrant new single Simple Life, offering a fresh glimpse into the record’s dynamic range.

Corella

Corella (Charles Agall)

Built around an infectious groove and an instantly memorable chorus, Simple Life leans into nostalgic indie influences while celebrating the overlooked joys of everyday living. Frontman Joel Smith describes the track as a reminder to appreciate life’s smaller moments amid the chaos, a sentiment reflected in both its upbeat energy and its playful accompanying video, which follows a caveman navigating modern-day Manchester in search of simple pleasures.

The single follows earlier release Rewire, a punchier and more politically charged track that hinted at the broader thematic scope of the upcoming album. Produced by Jason Perry, A Beautiful World To Lose sees Corella pushing their sound into darker, more urgent territory while maintaining the melodic hooks that have defined their rise.

Across the album, the band balance introspection with intensity, exploring themes of disillusionment, ambition, grief, and personal growth. Tracks like What’s The Use tap into generational frustration, while Thunder Strike—co-written with Kieran Shudall of Circa Waves—captures the emotional turbulence of chasing success. Elsewhere, more vulnerable moments emerge on songs such as Lost A Friend and All I Want, reflecting on loss and the challenge of moving forward.

Bassist Ben Henderson notes the album’s heavier emotional weight, with the band embracing a more aggressive edge alongside newfound openness. It marks a significant evolution from their 2024 debut Once Upon A Weekend, which helped establish Corella as one of the UK’s most promising indie acts.

Since then, the band have built a formidable following, amassing tens of millions of streams and earning slots on major festival stages including Reading & Leeds Festivals, as well as touring alongside names like Kaiser Chiefs, Pale Waves and The Wombats.

With A Beautiful World To Lose, Corella appear poised to take the next step—channeling their early momentum into a sharper, more emotionally resonant sound that reflects both the pressures of modern life and the resilience needed to navigate it.
