TECHNICOLOR

Covet is a very talented trio, led by guitarist Yvette Young, who has mastered a tapping style of playing, similar to excellent technical artists such as Sloth & Turtle, and Floral, the latter whose guitarist is one of the best I've ever heard. Almost as good as the earlier EP, 'Efflorence', 'Technicolor' is the bands first full-length LP, and the first release to feature vocals, albeit briefly in 2 songs. The music, often intense, alternates between technical and beautiful, and Yvette plays with passion and joy-watching her play is a pleasure as she has an obvious deep love for music and playing, and does so with remarkable precision while making it flow, seemingly effortlessly. Her voice is pleasant too, but the real focus is instrumental music. Comparisons are difficult-Floral certainly, but not as technical and tight as Floral (but then no one is), and a more known comparison, King Crimson at their most technical. Again, there is much beauty here too, so don't let the 'Math Rock' label fool you. This is pretty much pure prog, original and innovative. My favorite track (today) is also the shortest track, 'Pirouette', but there is not a track I don't enjoy. I do recommend going to YouTube and watching them play, and if you like what you see, give 'Sloth & Turtle' and 'Floral' a view as well. Highly recommended!
