Released via Royal Mountain Records, the track invites listeners into a space of introspection and connection, marked by Coyes’ signature storytelling and evocative sound.
Sister Ray, the Toronto-based artist also known as Ella Coyes, has returned with their first new music since 2023. ‘Animal Thing’ unfolds in the quiet hours of Toronto’s iconic Imperial Pub, capturing the tension of wanting to know someone and resisting the urge to leave. With its steady guitar lines, amber-hued keys, and the warmth of Coyes’ unmistakable voice, the song channels the spacious resonance of alternative Americana legends like Smog and Lucinda Williams.
Coyes shares about the track:
“‘Animal Thing’ starts in The Imperial Pub (Toronto, ON) at 12:15 am on a Tuesday. It’s about that liminal space between wanting to know someone and knowing them, drinking more than you should to talk a little longer, to feel a little stronger, going home alone, and building castles in the sky over coffee on the front porch.”
‘Animal Thing’ is out now.
