Coyote Run venture into the open road with country-folk jaunt “Again Again”

Coyote Run build things quick on "Again Again," a country-folk jaunt with a cosmic, honky-tonk feel that immediately draws you in. The main project of Oceanside-based singer Katie Shahbaz skips a formal introduction and forges a locked groove, ramping up a vocal harmony that brushes against her honeyed voice. Shahbaz also lets it shred in the final portion with a bluesy solo that is set off at just the right time, as it fades out just the way it started. With a winding rhythm that could go on and on (or again and again?), Shahbaz’s sense of longing portrays a fitting compliment to that dry summer drive; it’s a two-minute romp that ends much too soon.

"Again Again" is the first single off of Shahbaz’s debut full-length, Infinite Disappearance of Fear, which is set for release in October. – Juan Rodríguez
