4 stars Covet are a trio that play a smooth style of mostly instrumental music. There are elements of jazz, djent, and rock splattered throughout this album, but to me Covet has a sound all its own. Like watching ripples in water, this album has a calming effect on me, but if I focus, and listen to the compositions and musicianship, there is a lot going on. This is a busy record, but even with heavy and tricky parts weaving in and out of the songs it doesn't feel like it. It's not forced and sounds natural. Syncopated riffs abound, anchored with precision by the fiery rhythm section of David Adamiak (bass), and Forrest Rice (drums), while Yvette Young (guitar) explores the cosmos. Her expert tapping technique, and use of guitar effects brings something refreshing, something not heard often.

Parachute is one of my faves and one Yvette sings (nice voice), love how this song keeps evolving, changing, going to different places. Nero, one of the heavier songs, starts with a distorted guitar but the bubbly break 2'41" into the song changes the tone of the song, from crunchy to not crunchy. Very cool changes. Pirouette, the shortest tune, is another highlight, that has chord-age that reminds me of Allan Holdsworth. Some fierce drumming towards the end of that song.

Overall, this is a must listen for those who enjoy instrumental music on the djenty/jazzy side. Unfortunate that Covet seems to get overlooked here on PA. Let's change that.
