Coyote Talk

Under the blanket of a summer heat wave, the first mumblings of the first Coyote Talk songs were scratched onto the bent pages of a drugstore notebook. In those early moments there was no grand vision, no future plans, no audience; there was only a young man with a handful of meager stories to tell.

Raised in a part of the Mid-West where the last lines of Chicago’s urban landscape marry the first rows of Indiana’s cornfields, Joshua Frigo was brought up not as an outsider, but an “inbetweener.” Such ideas found their way into the music of Coyote Talk, ideas of place and time and people and journeys:

"I was born of no man’s land

Wild, young, and free

But I’ve seen her face and felt her grace

And that’s where I want to be"

Slowly, the ideas began to multiply and one song turned to two, two to four, and four into the possibilities of a life spent making music. 

The next year was spent in between couches, floors, sleeping bags, cars, conversations, drinks, and stories. Eventually both Joshua and the music found a home in Nashville, TN where Coyote Talk’s Americana/Indie-Rock sounds are familiar yet modern and thrilling.

With the release of the debut album “Sister,” Coyote Talk is now in between the moments of what promises to be an exciting journey. Keep listening.

“Joshua Powell and the Great Train Robbery” may not fit on a marquis, but the name suits the band just fine. Joshua and his folk band borrowed their brand from a 1903 silent Western and have crafted their sound in that sure-footed Americana tradition ever since. The crux of their music is in the storytelling – stories that embrace the fact that we are all human together. The band has two new releases: The Commonwealth EP, available for free on Noise Trade, and a new LP, Man Is Born For Trouble, available from digital outlets.

The band may have originated in the heartland, but there is something distinctly Southern about their songs. There is dusty peacefulness in the lulling folk that evokes comparisons to Iron and Wine and Fleet Foxes, and an unmistakable grit that erupts like a bar fight when the band delves into their rockier side. Joshua and the band spent two years in Indiana perfecting this duality in the Midwest before striking out for almost a year's worth of tour in 43 states.

Their self-produced debut EP, We All Say Hello, enjoyed immense exposure and success on Noise Trade in 2011, sharing the chart with acts like The Civil Wars and Young the Giant. They subsequently released their first full length, Traveler, which Stereo Subversion heralded as having “diverse harmonies” and “immense depth," and followed up in 2013 with their newest record, Man Is Born For Trouble, which No Depression called "lushly composed chamber-folk with its creator’s heartstrings unwound while portraying vivid snapshots of rustic romanticism...with no throwaway moments."
