Coyote (2023)

""Coyote" is more than just a cool title for an Americana/folk record. It’s tethered to a very real experience LeBlanc had as a child. As a kid living in Austin, he encountered a coyote. It was intense, this human-animal moment. And the intensity of that interaction can be heard all throughout this album. Themes of guilt and running away are weaved throughout the 13 tracks here and the lyrics are remarkably compelling especially on a song like “Dark Waters.” Musically, songs like “Forgotten Things” and the more up-tempo “No Promises Broken” are early stand outs and even work well divorced of the overall album concept. The record closes on “The Outside,” which finds the narrator outside of prison serving as both a fitting ending to the album and a potential new chapter to the story. The concept plays out beautifully thanks to LeBlanc’s deft and descriptive writing as well as his powerfully emotive vocals." (Americana Highways) Op 22 november 2023 in Metropool, Hengelo.
