Coyote

'Proof of Life' (album stream)

BY Alex HudsonPublished Sep 2, 2014

Charlottetown combo Coyote have five members, but their sound aims for something much bigger. Before their EP Proof of Life is released on September 9 through Fountain Pop Records, it's available to stream here on Exclaim.ca.

Opener "Your House" begins with a piano figure reminiscent of LCD Soundsystem's "All Your Friends" before swelling to a surging rock climax. Elsewhere on Proof of Life, there's a hint of funk to the palm-muted guitar licks on the dance-rock grooves of "Old News," while the title track is the most urgently upbeat song here, and closing cut "Toothache" is delivered with quiet restraint before swelling to a cinematic (yet still fairly restrained) finale.

The EP was recorded with Colin Buchanan of Paper Lions. Hear it all below, and check out the band's Canadian tour schedule here.
