2010 studio album by Kayo Dot
Coyote is the fourth studio album by American avant-garde metal band Kayo Dot, released April 20, 2010 on Hydra Head Records. The album is a single narrative-driven, long-form composition in five movements. The story and text were provided by a close, terminally-ill friend of the band, Yuko Sueta, in the final stage of her life. The music was written by Toby Driver in a so-called "goth fusion" style, combining influences from the Cure, Bauhaus and Faith and the Muse with further influences from Herbie Hancock's psychedelic jazz album Sextant and Scott Walker's experimental album The Drift. Sueta's story and lyrics were constructed with deliberate melodrama as part of the intended gothic aesthetic, expressing the protagonist's loneliness and longing to be in a better place, and her journey through her own personal looking-glass through a hallucinatory world of fear and wonder.
Like Kayo Dot's previous album, Coyote was produced and engineered by Randall Dunn in Seattle, Washington.
