Covet Premiere “Lovespell” Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

Covet have premiered a new video for their new song “Lovespell.” This track is from their new album “Catharsis,” which will be released on April 7. Yvette Young commented:

“This one is the album closer. The closest feeling I get to falling in love is when I write and play music, and this song is a tribute to that feeling of being totally smitten by the joy of creating and feeling things deeply. It was important to me to leave everyone on a high note (in this case, a saxophone solo provided by the amazing Alex Rose from Minus the Bear).”

Covet To Release New Album “Catharsis” In April, Premiere “Firebird” Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

Covet have officially revealed the details for their new album “Catharsis.” The effort will be released on April 7 and it can be pre-ordered HERE.

“Catharsis” Track Listing:

01. “Coronal”
02. “Firebird”
03. “Bronco”
04. “Vanquish”
05. “Interlude”
06. “Smolder”
07. “Merlin”
08. “Lovespell”

Yvette Young commented:

“We did a lot of risk-taking on this album. I try to follow what excites me without heeding anybody’s expectations. I’m leaning into melodies, tones, and textures and trying to use them to transport listeners. The whole concept is escaping into a fantasy realm where the songs depict different characters and their own worlds.

Each song is like their theme song. It’s mostly instrumental, but when you close your eyes, I hope people will be transported into the character’s story. Music has always been escapism for me and a great source of therapy. My hope for this music is that it will take people somewhere and stir their imaginations, or at the very least, make them feel something.

I named this record ‘Catharsis’ because the word to me feels like a triumphant exodus. No matter the dire circumstances, music is one of those things that I’ve always needed to create to survive (in all senses of the word), and time and time again, I turn to guitar and songwriting as my outlet to uplift and feel like I have control over something in this chaotic universe.”

A video for the effort’s first single, “Firebird,” can be found below. Young added the following about that track:

“When my mom first emigrated to America, she balled out and got a red Pontiac Firebird. I hope it sounds like cruising down the highway with the wind blowing in your hair. I really wanted to lean into the catchiness of a melody and see how I could push some rock-n-roll tropes until something almost becomes cheesy—but not quite yet. Hopefully, the lighthearted and silly nature of the video reflects that.”

Covet Premiere “Parachute” Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

Covet have premiered a new video for their new song “Parachute.” This track is from the band’s new album “Technicolor,” which will be released on June 5.

Yvette Young commented:

“This track, ‘Parachute,’ is really special to me. I remember I wrote it basically in one sitting and immediately I heard that it needed lyrics. My whole rule for writing is to never rule anything out, as long as it serves the music… so here we are, at Covet‘s first departure from being instrumental.

The song is about taking a risk for yourself and stepping away from something or something that once made you feel safe, only to realize that you never needed any of it in the first place. We hope you enjoy it and that it uplifts you.”

Covet Premiere “Nero” Music Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

Covet have premiered a new video for their new song “Nero.” This track is from the band’s new album “Technicolor,” which will be released on June 5.

“Technicolor” Track Listing:

01. “Good Morning”
02. “Atreyu”
03. “Parachute
04. “Predawn” (feat. Phillip Jamieson)
05. “Nero”
06. “Pirouette”
07. “Aries”
08. “Parrot”
09. “Odessa”
10. “Farewell”

Yvette Young said the following about the new record:

“There are so many textures and types of songs that it’s a new direction for us. Some of them have a nostalgic feel. Others can be quite heavy. ‘Technicolor‘ traditionally is a technique used to colorize old film. In the same spirit, we’re taking these sounds and developing them. The word encapsulates what we set out to do.”

David Adamiak added:

“The album features more colors in terms of not just the effects, but the songwriting and the rhythms. When you compile everything together, it’s our most diverse body of work yet. We’ve never had vocals with lyrics before. There were some vowels hummed on Currents, but it was gratifying to add Yvette’s voice like this.”
