The Coral have announced details of their upcoming fifth full-length studio album, 'Butterfly House,' which is set for release on July 12.

It's the Liverpool psych-indie band's first studio album since 2007's 'Roots & Echoes,' and also marks the first full release without guitarist Bill Ryder-Jones, who quit the outfit after the last album. Produced by Radiohead and Stone Roses man John Leckie, the release of 'Butterfly House' will be preceded by a single, '1,000 Years,' on July 5.

Other track titles revealed so far -- through the band's Facebook studio updates -- include title track 'Butterfly House' plus 'Rovin Jewel,' 'Green Is the Colour,' 'Sandhills,' 'Walkin' In The Winter' and 'Coney Island.'

The Coral have also announced they'll play a short UK tour to support the new release, with tickets going on sale on Friday, April 23 at 8:30AM (GMT).

The band are also confirmed to appear at a host of festivals in the UK and Ireland this summer, including Kendal Calling, Latitude, T in the Park and Oxegen.
