about

Covet, the Bay area trio fronted by the effervescent, and wholly unique, guitar whiz Yvette Young, return with their third album, catharsis, on April 7 via Triple Crown Records.

“We did a lot of risk-taking on this album,” Yvette explains. “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.”

I came to Plini via Mike Dawes "Push" single. I can't say enough good things about this album. The expansive feel and choice of instrumentation, the playful development of the tracks and the nods to other musicians (Zappa in the first solo of Glass Bead Game, for example) make this a magnificently coherent whole. The production somehow has an '80s feel, especially in the way the bright sounds stand out. Every time I listen I hear something new. Highly recommended. quentinsghost
