Kayo Dot Reveals New Album, "Coyote," Details, Posts New Song For Free Download

Kayo Dot has broken the mold for their new album, "Coyote," in which they nearly leave out the guitar. "Coyote" is due April 6 on Hydra Head.

The Village Voice describes the band's latest effort:
"Coyote is a 40-minute narrative composition that swirls with cooing violins, whining trumpets, jangling xylophones, and haunting blasts of cosmic debris--easily their most cohesive, heavy-hitting and best album yet. Influenced by early '80s goth and Herbie Hancock's more psychedelic excursions, Coyote is a mini-suite that's at once punishing, sad and gloriously free."

You can download "Whisper Ineffable" and read The Village Voice's interview with frontman Toby Driver here.

Here's the tracklist for "Coyote":

I. Calonyction Girl
II. Whisper Ineffable
III. Abyss Hinge 1: Sleeping Birds Sighing In Roscolux
IV. Abyss Hinge 2: The Shrinking Armature
V. Cartogram Out Of Phase
