Notts duo Coyote, Timm Sure and Ampo, have been in the business of playing and making music since meeting at legendary Nottingham club Venus. They have a new EP out next month, the second in a series of four special editions reelased on their re- edit label Magic Wand and they shared one of the songs from it a few days ago. Lonely is eight minutes of slowed down emotive perfection, Balearica meets psychedelia with a gently persuasive groove and a heartstring tugging vocal. The last couple of minutes are particularly affecting and entrancing, as the hand drums, layers of strings and synths, and hazy vocal combine. The sort of song you can't play just once.
Edit: Lonely is of course, as C pointed out, an edit/ restructure of the 1982 single Ever So Lonely by Monsoon.
As a DJ duo their live sets at Bodega, Nottingham are always worth dedicating some time too. Today, while all that pomp and circumstance nonsense goes on down in London and a man in a golden carriage inherits the right to be our head of state without any of us being asked, you could do a lot worse than sit back and play this, a three and a half hour set from Bodega in October 2022. The first minute and a half is like being there, voices and noises, the sound of drinks and conversation, and then suddenly the music kicks into focus and we're a million miles away from wherever you are. Listen to Coyote playing live at Soundcloud.

that Coyote tune is massive, want
Out on vinyl next month.
Very nice. Am I right in hearing some elements of the vocal from
'Ever So Lonely' by Monsoon in there, surely it must be!
That must be the source of edit C, well spotted.
