“El Goodo is one of life’s wonderful anomalies.” –Jackson Free Press
LISTEN to Feel so Fine
Hailing from inside the valleys surrounded by the majestic mountains of South Wales,
five piece multi-instrumental group, El Goodo consists of the talents of Pixy, Jason,
Lewie, Matty and Elliott. They were first noticed by the Super Furry Animals who, in
2005 picked up their first self-titled album and released it under their Placid Casual label
and subsequently were their tour’s opening act, introducing El Goodo as a band worthy of
critical and mass appeal. They have received accolades from both their home isle and the
United States, touted as Artist of the Month by Spin Magazine in 2005. Besides touring
nationally around the UK with Super Furry Animals, El Goodo has graced the stage with
heavy-weights such as The Zombies, Dead Meadow, Preston School of Industry, Beulah,
Essex Green and the Keys just to name a few, solidifying their rise as psychedelic
champions.
ABOUT COYOTE
El Goodo combines the mellow and melodious psychedelic sounds of the Beach Boys,
The Byrds and Love with beautiful and lush arrangements that call upon the mystical
countryside from whence they came. The result is the creation of a mysterious,
sweepingly grand, and at times whimsical approach to their already eclectic soundscape.
Their intoxicating sophomore release, Coyote, due January 2009 (Grease Records), is
both sprawling and hauntingly deserted, evoking a sonic landscape both richly cultivated
and desolate, with intensely poetic harmonies and darkly articulated instrumentation.
“Aren’t You Grand”, “I Saw Her Today”, “Talking to the Birds”, and “Oh, to Sleep” feel
cinematic, like a dark western cowboy soundtrack, juxtaposing surfy and at times
summery melodies to create an ominous scoure. “Feel So Fine”, “Be My Girl”, and “I
Can’t Make It” continue in El Goodo’s knack for beautiful beach harmonies, but opt for
psych-breakouts and breakdowns reminiscent of efforts by Olivia Tremor Control and
Lansic Dreiden. Coyote was produced by the band in a deserted theater and has brought
together Cian Ciaran of the Super Furry Animals’ fame to mix the album, as well as renowned artist Pete Fowler to capture the eloquence of the music for the album’s
artwork. Coyote is a beautiful piece of darkly rich psych-pop perfection, brought to you
by the new breed of Welsh pop wizards–El Goodo.
