CONTRIVED is a 5 piece rock band with principal members from Juno Award winners Wintersleep and Juno/Polaris nominees Holy Fuck. Their latest project has led them into a sound direction incorporating their hard rock roots and expanding on their pop sensibilities. Lending a hand at the mix is Dave Newfeld (Broken Social Scene, Super Furry Animals).

Brian Borcherdt Coyotes (HDD003) 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 / assembled by hand) features artwork by James Mejia, perfectly complimenting the haunting tone of these seven songs.
