   About Brian Borcherdt














Brian Borcherdt
Coyotes (HDD003)
Release Date: October 7 2008

While I Was Asleep
Scout Leader
Coyotes
The Drugs
Evil Twin
Means of Escape
Tiny Mouths


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!)

HI brian!
I've been sitting here in my workshop
all afternoon trying to fix my Korg
electribe listening to your songs.
I haven't had this feeling in such a
long time, your music is so beautiful
but at the same time a bit trist.

I was wondering if there is any
chance to see your lyrics somewhere? I've been trying to
find them but no luck...

Cheers from Iceland

wow! i hadn't checked out your solo work yet.

let words like oil drip precariously from the locked unsteady corners of your mouth to lubricate the gears of a rotating world, and sing high.

see you at bottom of the hill maestro. i hope you're still rockin' that unicorn shirt.

You have a voice that makes your listeners really hear the message you are delivering. Although, the feelings that spring inside of me when listening are ones of sadness and sorrow, you move me. Much success with your endeavours.
