Simon Peter

Souvenir EP - Incl. Peaking Lights & Coyote Remixes

The faultless Is It Balearic Crew keep summer alive a little longer with a new and blissed out offering from Simon Peter. The title track 'Souvenir' sets the tone with dreamy electric piano and a Laurel Canyon-style vocal with folky overtones that help evoke hazy sunsets. 'Mystical Delight' drifts deeper into a desert-tinged folk trip, while 'Still Going' adds percussive layers and brings a perfect Balearic balance. On the flip, Peaking Lights rework the title cut into a nostalgic haze, spotlighting the vocals with lullaby warmth. Coyote bring their trademark dub touch to close with a groove that rolls deep into hypnotic territory. This EP feels like a postcard from a distant, golden horizon.

Coyote

Magic Wand Special Editions Vol. 15

Nottingham's Balearic dons Coyote have been digging around in the vaults and turned out four more masterful edits for a grown-up get-together. The fourth edition of this crucial series opens with the gentle guitar strums of 'Back To The Wall', which is intimate and perfect for gathering around the campfire. 'Easy' brings Americana and folky vibes with a lead harmonica and slow grooves, while 'Moon' is a lighter sound with more masterful plucking and undulating grooves with subtle funk and a nice breezy vocal. 'Taling The Veil' shuts down with some late-night yearning and proggy guitar hints that will have you gazing at the stars.

STAFF COMMENTS

Mine says: Coyote have occupied Vol. 2, 3, 7 and now 15 of the popular Magic Wand Special Editions series and once again show why they are always among the best sellers (at least around these parts!). A definite must have for all stargazers, yacht cruisers and bonfire beatniks.

TRACK LISTING

Back To The Wall
Easy
Moon
Taling The Veil

Three tracks from the more upbeat side of Coyote's sound surface on the Is It Balearic side project Mega Beat Ibiza Sound. Title track 'Escape Pattern' glides on serenely, a mixture of 80s synth sheen and 90s ambient bliss, all underpinned with a shuffling, off kilter beat with plenty of open hi-hat action. 'Karma Comedian' on the flip heads on a jauntier, open-grooved path with a gorgeously rounded and thoroughly addictive bassline, while the closing tune 'Raddish Eyes' (feat Max Essa) sets phasers to stun for an epic teaser of an intro, before a nimble beat finally takes us to the run out groove. Quality gear from the Nottingham duo, as ever.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: Lysergic FM synth stabs and plate-reverbed percussion loops come together into a heady nodder on the A side before melting into a pool of squelchy 303's and echoic vocal snippets on the flipside.

Karma Comedian
Raddish Eyes (feat Max Essa)

Max Essa is a firm part of the neo-Balearic mafia and shows off his trademark take on the summer-ready sound with this return to Is It Balearic? 'Camel Night-Rate (Clear To The Ocean)' kicks off with a great blend of chug, dubby low ends and shimmering synth work while 80s chords light it up with good vibes. A Be.Lanuit remix is more serene and stripped back for late night dreaming then 'Love's New Meridian' sinks into a melancholic and downbeat world of sunset charm with wispy pads. The Coyote Mellow remix reworks it as a gently breaking wave on a moon-lit beach. Classy tackle all round.



STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: There's some lovely jangle to Max Essa's new slice of Balearic downbeat business with two laid-back originals and a duo of deep reworks. The pick for me here has to be the Johnny Jewel-y thrum of 'Love's New Meridian', but they're all worth the entry price alone.

Simon Joyner

Coyote Butterfly

    Coyote Butterfly is the first album of new songs in two years from singer-songwriter, Simon Joyner, following the overdose death of his son, Owen, in August of 2022. Drawing on the kaleidoscopic nature of grief, Joyner explores his loss through a series of imagined dialogues and raw confessions. The album is a tribute to Owen, but what Joyner generously delivers is an intimate glimpse at his attempt to comprehend the incomprehensible.

    Where do we go from here? Simon Joyner has tried to answer this question on almost all of his albums. Take it as the starting point for many of his songs. He traversed the human predicament, in general. To tell difficult truths, he used fiction. His characters struggling through personal crises in an inadequate American society. This time the album itself, the process of songwriting and recording might appear as the answer to that question of how to go on . Coyote Butterfly is rooted in Simon Joyner's grief over the death of his son, which occurred unexpectedly, shortly after the release of his 22nd album Songs From A Stolen Guitar. It took two years for his grief to form itself into songs.

    In creating an album of such intimacy, Joyner reminds us of the importance of using art to alchemize the deeply personal into transformative beauty. Throughout the album we are invited to stand with him in the aftermath and have our own hearts crack open. Coyote Butterfly is a beautiful evocation of a father's grief but also serves as an enduring testament to love and the life that endures after loss.

    Coyote & Quinn Lamont Luke

    Think About It - Incl. Project Sandro Remix

    Coyote team up with Quinn Luke Lamont for a one off collaboration. Quinns vocals add a distinctly yachty feel to Coyote's chuggy early evening acid groove. Project Sandro tighten up the percussion and strip the vocals back and create a dreamy more contemplative warm weather shuffler.

    Dylan LeBlanc

    Coyote

      'Coyote' marks Dylan LeBlanc’s fifth studio album and his first full-length LP to be self-produced. Recorded at the iconic FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL, it boasts a handpicked ensemble of world renowned session players including Fred Eltringham, known for his work with Ringo Starr and Sheryl Crow, pianist Jim "Moose" Brown, who's collaborated with Bob Seger, and bassist Seth Kaufman, celebrated for his contributions to Lana Del Rey's tracks. The album is both semi-autobiographical and a concept album centered on the evocative character of Coyote, a man on the run in pursuit of an ever elusive freedom from his past.

      Coyote Canyon

        Coyote Canyon is a wilderness area behind my daughter's house where coyotes gather and howl before taking off for their nightly foraging. Little Tujunga (pronounced "Tuhunga") is a river running through the Angeles Forest near a house I lived in five decades ago. Half my ideas for this piece came from onshore guitar ruminating. The rest was improvised in studio. Emma was my close and sweet companion during this period, a lifelong deep friend. I composed her song one evening at the kitchen table of our place while she was cooking.

        Tumbleweedin' describes a desert tumbleweed storm. I menaced every inch of the Yamaha, recreating the effect of these 4 windblown monsters screeching along boulders, smacking into cactus and anything else in their way at often impossible speeds, following the whims of the heavy winds. This song was completely improvised at the moment in studio and forgotten. Roy's Rain is a tribute to my great good friend and musician killed in a car accident in 1973. I found For Marsha Version2 on a well-worn studio tape. It's a variant of the same composition on the Gentle Wilderness album. I like this loose and flowy version. Movin' On has one thing on its mind -- getting away fast and now. Going Home is my improvised take on an American root song. The above seven were recorded between 1972-1975. Three Sisters was recorded on a 20-minute studio break in 1999 describing three barren red hills somewhere in the Arizona desert, a cherished location.

          STAFF COMMENTS

          Barry says: This latest Home Current offering follows on thematically from the superb Cylinder Moses (the first release for Lonely Mountain records), and sees Jensen joined by a few familiar collaborators. It's a brilliantly produced and typically diverse ride through downbeat electronica, flickering glittery disco and psychedelic nu-rave. It's a beguiling and gorgeous distillation of everything that makes Jensen's music so singular, and so brilliantly enjoyable.
