Dana and Alden - Coyote, You're My Star

Coyote, You're My Star is the new vinyl album from Dana and Alden, for fans of BADBADNOTGOOD, Cortex, Khruangbin, Thundercat and Yussef Dayes.

Dana and Alden are brothers from Eugene, Oregon who grew up on an apple orchard and jamming in local jazz clubs. Their instrumental jazz song “Dragonfly” song went viral on TikTok last year (+300k creates, +10M streams). Album produced by Jared Solomon (Sza, Remi Wolf, Teezo Touchdown). Alden (drums) was early to TikTok and has gained 850k followers on the platform plus 150k on Instagram (look up Gucci Pineapple). Brothers Dana and Alden McWayne, along with a troupe of multi-instrumental artists, come together to create jazzy melodies with indie sounds inspired by their unconventional upbringing in Eugene, Oregon.

Following the success of their debut full-length album and it’s lead track “Dragonfly” (which tracked 300,000 TikTok creations, and over 10 million streams) the brothers recruited Jared Solomon (Sza, Remi Wolf, Teezo Touchdown) to produce their sophomore LP, Coyote, You’re My Star. Melding vintage sounds with the aesthetic and experience of existing in Gen Z and the digital age, the new LP has already been met with rousing approval, with airtime on the Zane Lowe show on Apple as well as playlist covers like Spotify's State of Jazz.
