In this episode of Car Con Carne, James VanOsdol catches up with Ian from Chicago post-rock/metal instrumental powerhouses Coyote Man. Parked outside Noon Whistle Brewery in Naperville where a record and comic book show was coincidentally (?) happening, they dive into the band’s long-awaited new album, Prosthetic Memories.

What’s In This Episode:

• Breaking the Instrumental Rule: Discover the story behind “Faith in a Burning Room,” the album’s closing track featuring vocals (yes, vocals) from guest singer Chris.
• 5 Years in the Making: How Prosthetic Memories evolved over five years, blending heavy riffs, psychedelic soundscapes, and even 20-year-old unused ideas.
• Production: Bringing in producer Dan Klein to help sequence a seamless, cinematic “Pink Floyd-style” album experience.
• Finally on Vinyl: Why releasing this album on physical vinyl through Smashed Plastic makes this milestone release so special for the band.
