Covet, the ultra-talented Bay Area trio of Yvette Young, David Adamiak and Forrest Rice, released a three song EP simply titled acoustics, today via Triple Crown Records.
"We wanted to create some mellower, more laid back versions of some songs on effloresce, and also breathe new life into them with new accompaniments such as piano, violin, and even light vocals," explained Young. "They're reimagined acoustic versions of older songs, but we hope that with the new accompaniments, tempos and additional layers, they will feel entirely different and take people someplace new."
Acoustics, which features new song "Predawn" as well as stripped down versions of "Glimmer" and "Shibuya," arrives as the band prepares for a North American headlining tour, kicking off this Friday at Schuba's in Chicago. The two week outing features openers Vasudeva and Triple Crown labelmates, Holy Fawn. Covet join Periphery this fall (Sept. 9 to Oct. 13) on their North American outing.
