Coyotes was recorded by long time friend Jose Contreras of By Divine Right. While on a break from Holy Fuck's tour schedule Brian performed a handful of recently written songs in Jose's living room. Little else was added to the guitar and vocal, maintaining the songs' intimate and delicate atmosphere. The album's textural paper sleeve (printed on 130 lb double-thick antique stock / hand assembled) features artwork by James Mejia, perfectly complimenting the haunting tone of these seven songs.
"Treasure of a record, the anti-thesis of Holy Fuck’s instrumental freak-outs. The most intimate of his personal recordings yet." (eye Magazine)
"probably my 1 album this year - Coyotes is bleak, intimate, stark - making this a soon to be classic" (slowcoustic)
"For such a stripped down effort, I find it remarkably easy to lose myself in dark beauty of Coyotes." (Herohill.com)
"folk songs that are visceral on a whole other level - as if Elliott Smith regained his voice via Neil Young's Dead Man" (exclaim!)

please don't wait another four years before returning to newfoundland. you are in my top five favourites of all time. tonight my dad told me "you have a lot of favourites" and i said "no i don't, i have five - built to spill, fur packed action, the weakerthans, brian borcherdt, and kujo."
so my friend told me he sent a copy of his book and the soundtrack to your manager - maybe she's reading it first? i'd get on her (that's newfinese for "i'd ask her about it").
