Covet Release First Track with Vocals, “Parachute”

Instrumental prog trio have teasing this moment for some time, and now it’s here: their first ever track with vocals!

Explains guitarist Yvette Young, who sings on the track:

“This track, ‘parachute,’ is really special to me. I remember I wrote it basically in one sitting and immediately I heard that it needed lyrics. My whole rule for writing is to never rule anything out, as long as it serves the music… so here we are, at Covet’s first departure from being instrumental. The song is about taking a risk for yourself and stepping away from something or something that once made you feel safe, only to realize that you never needed any of it in the first place. We hope you enjoy it and that it uplifts you.”

Young’s vocal contributions to “Parachute” are limited — she only sings for about one total minute of the track’s six-minute runtime — but I’m sure I won’t be alone in saying that I would LOVE to hear more of this from Covet and Young in the future! She sounds fantastic (not at all awkward like so many first-time vocalists), the integration is completely natural, and her vocals lend the track a sense of urgency and melancholy that instantly make it more relatable and memorable.

Technicolor will come out on June 5 on Triple Crown Records; pre-order here, and listen to its first single, “Nero,” here.
