“Firebird” by Covet

“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.”

Hailing from San Jose, instrumental math rockers Covet just released “Firebird”, the first single and music video from their upcoming third album, catharsis. Drums and bass provide the big sky blue backdrop for the trio’s frontperson and guitarist Yvette Young to strum, pick, and wail on her electric guitar the fantastical, wordless story of one of those characters. The video shows the band cruising around in a literal old Firebird convertible, but could the song be dedicated to the mythical phoenix? It’s epic enough to suit the theme.

New York’s Triple Crown Records will release catharsis on April 7.

See Covet perform tonight along with Grumpster, Soft Blue Shimmer, and Pity Party at the New Parish as part of Noise Pop Fest.
