I love how bass forward this mix is. Obviously the guitar is still the star but the bass is still showcased much more than usual. I wish more tracks were mixed this well.

[@YUNGSICKS102]

OKAY.... NO GODS AND devil's and Daemons and angels and dieties this time Lushia.... So I said I was a sea dragon...

This song makes wanna break into someone's house and solve differential equations.

[@emanlastimado4375]

yep, that's actually what I thought too.

[@GeeRipp]

It makes me want to break in and steal their shit

[@HorseManSamOfficial]

Amazing musician listening to amazing music from another amazing musician. I'm not impressed at all.

[@Santosv708]

2.15 magic happens , can’t get that piece out of my head ; that bass crescendo , the guitar expression phrasing, glued to the drums , fells like I’m trippin ; travellin …. out of this world

[@hognof]

i've just gotten into covet a bit more past shibuya, i totally feel you. this amazing feeling in my chest from 2:15, the later recording on effloresce ramps it to 11 for me

[@MindofYǒng]

The motion of wave on Yvette guitar strings really got my attention...

[@miKeymaCT]

anyone knows how is it made?

[@skyworm8006]

Sine wave :)

[@orfeasliossatos]

Rolling Shutter effect, SmarterEveryDay did a video on it, fascinating stuff :)

[@NeoChromer]

When I film my guitar with a phone I can see those waves.

[@feel.s1304]

DancingDovaaah are you on crack?

[@novasutras]

The dragon on the Santa Cruz METRO is one of the best moments of video anywhere. Absolutely adore this amazingly beautiful song!

[@meta-self]

This is one of our favorite Covet songs because we live in Santa Cruz, and the story and music are great. Last night, we found a lost rubber, squishy, blue monster doll on the sidewalk, with the sales tag attached. It has eye stalks, waving hands, and is sticking out its long red tongue. Its light up when squished part is missing. It looks scary. But we couldn't leave the poor creature lost on the winter sidewalk in the rain, so we brought it home to our tent and cleaned it. It doesn't know it's name because it doesn't have one, but it told us it likes to live in a pool of water. We can't have a pool of water inside our tent, but will try to find a bowl. It was very happy this morning when we showed it this Sea Monster video.

[@TheVibeS1337]

I love the use of the unconventional shutter speed to make the strings look super whacky! Suits so well with such lovely tunes

[@DromNoms]

Is that how they make the guitar string wave effect?

[@Mackathne]

Very different music, but check put omnipresent perception by beyond creation for another great example of that effect

[@user-hk3ej4hk7m]

That is caused by the rolling shutter at low framerates.

[@jerbear97]

@Clay Goeke holy shit, so drugs slow down how the brains processes images?

[@LoftOfTheUniverse]

@@DromNoms strings always vibrate at different speeds based on sounds. The camera catches it different than your eye.

beautiful song and cinematography

[@misha1151]

OMG, I've listened to this track dozen times but inly now, listening on a good pair of speakers I truly enjoy the flow of BASS here. Daymn

[@justice7788]

This music scares me, because there are people out there creating this, and I'm sitting at home experiencing it through KZbin... I think I'm wasting my life away

[@niklasjorgensen5170]

4am after work, couldn't ask for a better song to listen to after

[@astarothgr]

There's something transcendental in this clip, the high fps camera, along with the chinese dragon and the close ups, the lens flares and the color palette, the weirdness of the story and all the tiny details sprinkled here and there... yet it's not unreal, closer to surreal but still somehow surprisingly intimate and familiar. A job well done, you have captivated my eyes and ears.

[@thechisensei]

im an 80s - 90s guy and I can say this is one of the rare music I found in the 21st century that amazes me the same way the classics does. I luv this! :)

[@pyrorock8143]

Hoho boy, you have no idea how much you’re missing out on! I guess if you’re into this kind of stuff, check out bands like Chon, Plini, Animals as Leaders, Scale the Summit, Polyphia, Sithu Aye, and *_SO_* many others!

[@mechart87]

Oh wow, this is filmed in Santa Cruz. A lovely compliment to a beautiful song. Thank you!

[@brettguyer3736]

I wondered what town it was, I assumed it was somewhere in Cali since that is where they are from. Looks like a cute town hope to tour it one day when I do my drive through of Cali.

[@Nicoternet]

This guitar is gorgeous omg

[@DrummerJacob]

[@lucasnoguera3849]

This is how hope sounds like

[@carolrutherford803]

Awesome music. I love the way the focus is on the strings and the background is so soft you can barely identify it. The Sea Dragon is beautiful, and its nice to see it moving around town with the supporters legs underneath. This is very special.

[@jbombrobertson4765]

The person who edited this and put it together is out of this world amazing and crazy talented. They deserve to be a millionaire.

[@kestergascoyne6924]

Yvette and Co. Your compositional and musical skills are extraordinary. Thank you for such impressive and evocative music.

[@GustavoRamirez-zs9qc]

how in the hell can anybody remember all that changes in rhythm, melody and tempo? am I somewhat stuck or are these guys geniuses? I fucking love this music, but also feel totally overwhelmed by its complexity! So far the most exciting to hear. Thank you for this whole new level of musical experience to me. You sure got chops.

[@jerbear97]

practice

[@e.creates1200]

it's because they embody the music, it's them. it's just like reciting a poem to them

[@celestialrift]

It's less "remembering" the changes in rhythm. It's muscle memory. It's like learning to walk - you stop needing to focus all the time if you get enough practice in. There's no longer a conscious switch between walking through the corridor and walking up the stairs. They're one in the same.

[@Rob23465]

I don't listen to Covet much but I like to come back to this song every once and a while.

[@user-hg3kc4dj7u]

And to follow up, they were great last night! All the acts were!

[@dylanthomas9383]

One of my favorite songs of all time

[@laughingwolf330]

Ughh finally a female guitarist in this genre for me to actually aspire after!! SO GOOD

[@laughingwolf330]

Lol thanks, you're awesome right back! Ahh I actually do have some old covers and a few acoustic originals on my channel, but nothing like this - it's been a long time and I need to start recording again. Thanks for asking though! This & the band Invalids has been inspiring me to write some stuff like this lately. I'm just sad there aren't more women in the math/prog/postrock genre(s) in general /:

[@learningtakesalifetime1639]

A Clark ever listen Tricot? They're an all female math band. There's also a lot of sick female bass players in the genre. Delta Sleep used to have a female bass player, the band Axes does, and a band called Elephant Gym has a freakishly talented bass player who's like the bass playing version of Yvette

[@laughingwolf330]

Dude, thank you for recommending Tricot. I've been jamming them all afternoon, very nice stuff. I have heard of Elephant Gym and had no idea their bass player was a chick haha! Will definitely check those other bands out too, kudos!

[@learningtakesalifetime1639]

A Clark no problem! I love sharing music with people, that's what it's all about :) if you ever want more stuff, don't feel weird asking.

[@Greasyheels]

Yvette's such an incredible musician that she can other incredible musicians unnoticeable. It took me a couple listens to pick up on how talented the bass player was and I am a bass player!

[@johnbarnas879]

When King Crimson came out with the Discipline album my mind was blown. I'm glad to see the youth still find a place to create and express within this kind of music.

[@johnbarnas879]

I'm talking about the shifting time signatures and the like, which resembles some technique Crimson used. I'm talking about this more complex music that beats most of the pop crap of this generation.

[@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO]

I have that album on audio cassette from way back. They are definitely the band most similar to Covet (or vice versa) in my mind.
