Last summer Bill Callahan released a live record entitled Resuscitate! taped at Chicago’s Thalia Hall in March 2023, including Matt Kinsey on guitar, Dustin Laurenzi on alto sax, and Jim White on the kit. Today, the Drag City artist has released “Coyotes” with a new visualizer filmed by Callahan. Bill will be playing multi-day solo residency in the UK and Europe, starting tomorrow in Paris, France. — shot this footage while flying, in a plane, on tour somewhere to somewhere. As Bill reflects on both the song and the sky:

From Bill Callahan:

“We take that airplane view for granted. Everyone choosing to watch a Nora Ephron movie instead. But at the same time I think, what does this mean? I’m not really supposed to be here. This isn’t supposed to be a human objective point. We’re supposed to be on mountains or oceans or valleys, etc but not suspended on nothing. Thoughts of heaven but heaven doesn’t have jets. Maybe that’s why most people choose the movie instead. It’s too confusing. I was looking for footage that was neither here nor there. Not of the earth or the cosmos. Somewhere between, which I think a lot of life hangs in places like that. So it fits the song’s themes of eternity, love, reincarnation and wildness brushing against domesticity. The video ends back on earth with steam from a venting dryer seeming to create the same nether world found in the skies.”
