Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Mother Coyote

Singer-songwriter Andriana Lehr is rebirthing herself with a new moniker – Mother Coyote – and a new set of songs written and informed by the immense changes, both personal and collective, experienced in recent years. Created with jack-of-all-trades producer Andy Thompson (Dessa, Semisonic, Belle and Sebastian) over the course of the last several years, When The War Comes, the first EP bearing the Mother Coyote name, combines Lehr’s detailed eye for universal storytelling with monumental, brooding soundscapes built specifically for these trying times.

Featuring an epic band of musicians to fill out the songs and take these arrangements to new heights, and the addition of strings, horns, and percussion creates the perfect playground for Lehr’s deeply personal lyrics. Inspired by the transition into motherhood and a deep journey into healing, her songs balance themes of birth, death, and the seemingly endless spiral of soul searching that fills the spaces in between. With When The War Comes, Mother Coyote has brought forward a raw truth that shines a light in the darkness for us all to look toward.
