Coves - Manchester 9 March 2015

Peel is arguably a more ambitious and certainly a more confident sounding affair than Coves  debut. It still contains the duo’s predisposition towards shoegazey tinged glitter , replete with John Ridgard’s wonderful guitar embellishments, but it also hones their  pop sensibilities.

Coves

The evolution of Coves has been an intriguing thing to behold.

Starting as a precocious shoegaze outfit, the project has gradually shifted to contain more gravitas, more weight.

New album ‘Peel’ fused ethereal soundscapes to songwriting of real point and purpose, gaining appreciative nods in the process.

New cut ‘I Just Don’t Care’ is drawn from said LP, and it’s wrapped in swathes of gothic sound. Beck Wood explains: “I’ve developed into a new person but I’ve still got that passion. There’s always going to be an element of bitterness within the vocal, that’s all I can sing.”

But what if everything works out fine? “When does anything work out fine? It’s never going to work out fine.”

Going from ‘Stormy’ (their last single) to ‘You’re Evil’, Coves – John Ridgard and Beck Wood – look like they are riding on a high, and with Radio 1’s Huw Stephens backing this latest release – which is out on April 1st , along with their debut album ‘Peel’ the same day – things look devilishly good this year for the pair.

Having steadily picked up a following with their indie-rock/shoegaze-edged style, scuzzy guitars and the howled vocals of Beck Wood, ‘You’re Evil’ continues the guitar-driven stomp in a song according to singer and lyricist Wood, is directed at “people that I used to know who shat on my dreams or were two faced.”
