Kind advance words for upcoming album, Coyote!


"Abney’s brand of Americana isn’t deeply rooted in country tinged crooners or twang. Rather, Abney's delievers soft and elegant moments reminiscent of Beck’s Sea Change, Ryan Adams‘ 29 and Elliott Smith’s Either/Or...a blend of earnest balladry with an angelic and pensive soundscape that leans and sways with a comfortable ease" -Wide Open Country (premiere of "Always Enough")


"Lush harmonies are layered over a dreamy groove..." -The Boot (premiere of Get Your House In Order)


"Abney’s voice carries a world-weary sadness while simultaneously exuding optimism...slowburning tune feels reflective and hopeful...a rich sound perfectly suited to hit power pop vocals" Glide Magazine (premiere of Every Now and Then)

Pre-order Coyote now on CD and limited carnation pink vinyl at Black Mesa Records website before it is released on May 18th.


Thanks a million for your ears and hearts. Look out of one another out there.


love, john and family.
