Album Cover
#3. Cool Hand Luke
Cora

Release Date: Fall 2017
Cool Hand Luke’s Of Man was a really great swan song. While it was supposed to be the Last CHL release, we now find ourselves in the cusp of Cora. This is one of my most anticipated albums for the entirety of 2017.
        - Michael Weaver

Cool Hand Luke is one of those bands which can all too easily slip by unnoticed. Perhaps it’s due to their mellow style or the fact that their music doesn’t scream for a near narcissistic degree of attention as so many bands do these days. Regardless, this phenomenal and raw artistry deserves a solid round of applause, and here’s hoping that Cora will strike a chord with listeners.         - David Craft

Two years ago I discovered Cool Hand Luke’s concept album Of Man through Noisetrade. And then I found that they had broken up and I was left with nothing but a back catalogue to explore; so I'm very excited to hear what Cora has in store for us.
        - Lucas Munachen

Cool Hand Luke was one of the most unique bands of its day, with off-beat song structures and intense and introspective lyrics that pierced the real world and the spiritual all at once. To see them return is a welcome surprise.
        - Alex Caldwell
