At long last this fixture of the Northwest indie folk-pop scene is striking out on his own, and his debut solo LP is a hypnotically wise set. On "Hello Hello Hello," Coykendall crosses his experience playing with the Old Joe Clarks and producing M Ward, offering spooky psych-folk for our inner space cowboy. Syd Barrett would be wowed.
Mike Coykendall is best known as the leader of SF's brilliant Old Joe Clarks, and as the engineer/producer of such well known artists as M Ward and Richmond Fontaine. This is first solo album for Stereotype Records.
Mike played nearly every instrument, engineered, obsessed, bled, etc. This is clearly a labor of love and obsession. Brilliant, dark, diverse. We call is Psychedelic Folk Rock
