While a core element of Sexy Coyote’s unique brand of pop-punk is the cacophony they create by crashing arrangements into oneanother, it never feels like its a process that’s being done haphazardly or ironically. Rather, on their recently released Danger in the Deep EP the band takes on the role of mad scientists, forging a sound that feels almost experimental at times but never without the precision or poise necesary to create a fundamentally tight sound. It’s one that works on multiple levels as well: impassioned vocals, booming drums and quick tempos get the heart racing, while at the same time intriguing and often-shifting guitar patterns keep the mind intrigued. Check out their new EP below. — Henry Solotaroff-Webber
