Before Brian Borcherdt formed Holy Fuck (anyone remember Hot Carl?), he was best known for his solo songwriting, and while two CDs as The Remains Of... were released on Dependent in the mid-naughts, the record that's still closest to the hearts of many fans is 2002's Moth EP. Coyotes' intimate tone makes for a more-than-worthy companion piece, strummed and sung in a Hayden-like hush that creates tension through staying restrained, a private, heart-on-sleeve candor that needs the security blanket only headphones can provide to quell the self-consciousness of listening in the presence of others.
