The track’s groove remains its starting point, but KOYOT steadily pushes beyond it. Wade Lavallee’s vocals give the song an introspective centre, while the rhythm section creates enough movement for the arrangement to keep unfolding. Its defining shift arrives with a polyrhythmic bridge, opening the track into a more expansive final stretch where Harin Joshi’s guitar rises above Dex Yadlowski’s dynamic drumming.
There is a sense of patience in the result. Rather than forcing the original idea into a predetermined shape, KOYOT allowed it to develop naturally over several years.
“Pisces Sun” ultimately feels less like a snapshot than a record of evolution: groove-driven and atmospheric at its core, but increasingly ambitious as the four members leave their individual fingerprints on it.
Some songs arrive fully formed. “Pisces Sun” took the longer route. What began as a bass line written by KOYOT’s Donavin Logan gradually became a piece that changed alongside the band, gaining new meaning each time it was revisited.
