Covet Releases New Song “lovespell”
Last month, American math rock band Covet, consisting Yvette Young (guitar/vocals), Brandon Dove (bass) and Jessica Burdeaux (drums), announced their third studio album “catharsis” would be released on April 7, 2023 via Triple Crown Records.
From the album, the bans the second single called “lovespell” on March 23, 2023, following “firebird”.
The track was written by Covetand and produced by Scott Evans.
The accompanying music video was directed by Tom Flynn, who also directed their previous video for “firebird”.
Yvette Young said of the song, “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).”- The new album is their first project in three years since the 2020 album “technicolor”.
The album comprises 8-track, produced by Scott Evans.
“We did a lot of risk-taking on this album,” Yvette explains of the 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.”
- She continued, 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.”
