Coyotes in Boxes – “Vaporize” (audio) (premiere)

More immediate and with less mess than the fateful prom detailed in Stephen King’s Carrie, Nashville band Coyotes in Boxes‘ “Vaporize” features an unsuspecting tuxedoed male at the stroke of midnight on their latest single. A coarse mix of doo-wop and feedback, Coyotes singer/guitarist Steven Holland describes “Vaporize” as the standard “boy-meets-girl scenario”, one in which “boy invites girl to this year’s end-of-the-world themed prom only for boy to be sacrificed by girl’s cult devotees to raise the Old Ones. You know, what every teenager deals with these days.”

Featuring guitarist Sean Dunn of Athens, Georgia’s Five-Eight, “Vaporize” will be released as a digital single and limited-edition cassette, both including b-side “Good Kitten”, on March 25 via Twin Cousins Records.
