\n\tMt. Joy<\/a> have awaken from their winter hibernation with a new single, \u201cCoyote,\u201d an infectious homage to the energy and excitement one experiences on the cusp of breaking through.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe track is the first from the Philadelphia indie rockers\u2019 fourth studio album, Hope We Have Fun<\/em> (out May 30 on Futures x Bloom Field). It arrives ahead of the April 19 kickoff to their 2025 North American tour.<\/p>\n

\n\tFrontman Matt Quinn tells Billboard<\/em> the first single was inspired by the sounds of coyotes in Los Angeles\u2019 San Rafael Hills and the energy found in young groups of coyotes, commonly called a band. Quinn says the song is a celebration of the make-it-or-break-it energy the band experienced grinding it out on the road and the surprising paradigm shifts that followed their crossover success. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tLast year, the five-piece group hit a number of touring milestones, performing at both New York\u2019s Madison Square Garden and Denver\u2019s Red Rocks Amphitheater and selling more than 180,000 tickets on their biggest tour yet.<\/p>\n

\n\tSuccess has brought changes to the way the band tours, Quinn tells Billboard<\/em>. \u201cThe shows have gotten quite a bit bigger and that changes the day pretty dramatically for us. We don\u2019t have to set the whole thing up ourselves which gives us a lot more time to work on new things we want to try to incorporate into the live shows,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00a0\u201cI will say, though, there is something awesome about the adventure of being in a van and pulling over at random roadside attractions and being late to a venue load-in because you took a detour and saw a random man\u2019s petting zoo,\u201d Quinn added. \u201cNow we drive in the middle of the night so it\u2019s just truck stops and Nintendo Switch.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA complete list of tour stops from the band\u2019s 2025 run can be found below. Listen to \u201cCoyote\u201d here.<\/p>\n
