Clearly influenced by their Southwestern upbringings and a love of old country standards, Céleigh Chapman and John Issac Watters met in LA and formed the southern folk rock group Coyol.

Their song “Pharmacist” marries the strange, gritty vibrato of John Isaac Watters with Céleigh’s beautifully belted out tones, almost as if it were a modern mashup of the classic hit “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” by The Charlie Daniels Band and some incredible female vocals by the likes of Janice Joplin. The duo delivers the hushed chorus like a pair of harmonized southern storytellers, slightly crazed and desperate, singing: “Give me a pill to pop, I need a pharmacist, I need a surgeon for my mind / ‘cause all these images and video footage stuck in rapid, rapid rewind.”

Hopefully we’ll see the unique sound of Coyol extend its reach far beyond the west coast once they release their new William Gramling-produced EP.
