Last Autumn I wrote about Coyote Deathbed, a somewhat mysterious band. I do know, though, that Måns Rohde Wittsell is involved in the band. Måns normally is the singer and guitar player in the band Wittsell 3, a trio which was formed in 2010, and that recently released their debut EP, “Using Palettes”.

It feels like a mix of older and newer influences, of classic blues and blues rock mixed with garage rock and a dose of grunge. Besides drums and bass guitar they are armed with a distorted 12-string guitar and  wah-wah pedal, and manage to create a special sound and a cool jam-vibe in the songs.

Using Palettes

The band Coyote Deathbed nurtures some mystique vibes. About the name the band tells us: “A man told the story of the coyote deathbed. Never went back, but still never forgot that place… It is everything that is feared. It is everything that is loved.
And there’s also a killer-falafel place. So that’s recommended if you ever happen to visit the coyote deathbed.”

And it feels a little like a harsh prairie. It’s hard, cool, sunburned lo-fi and laidback. Like if Tom Waits made an EP together with White Stripes or like the band likes to call it: vegetarian, progressive grindcore. And there is an EP out now, “I Got Two, How Many Did You Get?”, which you can listen to on Spotify or on the Facebook page. Here’s one track:
