Yeah, I just saw the Czech Republic part on his profile, that definitely doesn't add up.  Bumped your report up in the Innappropriate Ratings thread.

The only way to have heard it so far is by attending one of their current gigs and getting the CD there AFAIK, as that's the only time they're available before nov. 26th, so it's plausible to have legally gotten a copy already, although I'm not so sure.

God - those Coyote vinyls are gorgeous! I wasn't actually planning on buying it on vinyl but I think I might be swayed ...

Just some updates:

The EP is now in stock for preorder at Hydra Head: http://www.bluecollardistro.com/hydrahead/categories.php?cPath=4
And at Kayo Dot.net: http://www.kayodot.net/kayodot/index.php?text=buy
And Kayo Dot.net is also stocking the Coyote vinyl, Stained Glass shirts (which have all sold out for sizes other than Large and Extra Large) and some tour shirts from the Fall 2010 tour, which are available in super limited quantities.

Go forth and purchase!

European tour?! Oooooh...

WTF, I still don't have Coyote in my hands and that guy is already releasing another thingy? How the hell my wallet is going to keep up with this?

New EP and possible shows near me? Very awesome.

Shame to hear that they're so limited by budget, though...

Stained Glass is a twenty-minute composition which is being released as an upcoming EP (November 2010). Partially recorded at Zing in Westfield, MA, by Jim Fogarty, the majority of this recording was done at home and engineered by Toby Driver. Kayo Dot did Stained Glass this way simply because budgets for recording are getting smaller and smaller in this day and age when no one is buying CDs. There was a need to see if they could make a good record for virtually nothing. It seemed to have worked in this case, although the instrumentation was completely dictated by this prohibition!

Line-up:

Toby Driver - vocals, bass, guitar
Mia Matsumiya - violin
Terran Olson - keys
Daniel Means - saxophone
Dave Bodie - orchestral percussion
Russell Greenberg - xylophone
Trey Spruance - guitar solo

"Scenes of rapture, agony, and consecration are arrayed as windows in this latest EP by the avant-rock maestros. With a large ensemble of glimmering malleted percussion, shrieking distorted organs, crystalline guitars, and sighing horns, violins, and vocals, Stained Glass' translucent passages of unearthly beauty set a new standard in soothing terror. Stained Glass features the return of original Kayo Dot lyricist Jason Byron, as well as a guest appearance by electric guitar genius Trey Spruance (Secret Chiefs 3, Mr. Bungle)."
