Covet

Characterized by complex song structures and guitarist Yvette Young's unique finger-tapping style, instrumental trio Covet quickly earned a devoted following with their exploratory math rock sounds. Coming from a background in classically trained piano, Young first developed her two-handed guitar-tapping style as a solo artist, but in 2014 she added a rhythm section and formed Covet. Young's virtuosic playing and the band's sound -- self-described as "emotional nerd rock" -- developed as their fan base grew, becoming more involved over the course of releases like their 2020 debut full-length, Technicolor, and 2023's catharsis.
