Overview
Mike O’Hehir, the man at the heart of Coyote Island, is an old soul, but the music he’s crafted with his band and growing collection of diverse collaborators is as fresh as anything going today. From the breezy and bouncy mix of Caribbean beats and contemporary pop production that blasted “Here Before” into the post-pandemic public consciousness to the meditative and moody organ that makes “Shine through the Darkness” a glimmering beacon for lost souls, his songs are mood enhancements and attitude adjustments — perfect for a generation of music lovers looking for a path forward.
Now, to follow the breakout success of their 2023 album “Holy Illusion,” Coyote Island have released a string of singles highlighted by “Trust the Path,” featuring the Hip Abduction, in anticipation of the release of the full-length “Shadow Magic,” coming August 15.
Like Khruangbin or Father John Misty, Vampire Weekend or Talking Heads, they take authentic traditions and spin them into the future, bringing you along with them as they follow their own path, trusting that they’ll figure everything out along the way. Or won’t. It’s that sort of curiosity about the world that turns clubs into tent revivals, festivals into mystical experiences.
