I remember when Yvette was alone on KZbin asking for a drummer to help flesh out her songs, and now she not only has a band, but those same friends are helping her on her solo stuff. It's great to see.

I'm a (fairly) old man of 50 who's been playing music (keys and guitar) since I was a toddler, and... Hearing your work for the first time a few weeks ago inspired me in a way no one had done in a long time. I was visiting my 76 y/o dad last week and played "A Map, A String, A Light" for him (via Spotify) and he was absolutely moved by your work. Please keep doing what you're doing, and I hope your travels bring you to PHX sometime soon; I'd love to hear you play live, solo or with Covet.

[@mattwing621]

Ken Schuller I had the privilege of seeing them live in PHX with Polyphia and it was amazing

Matt Wing saw those two in Orlando same tour probably. Great stuff. Great people.

Met Yvette in London UK at chon gig, she's an awesome chick. The end of 2017 was amazing. Good memory getting to meet and talk with her. Loved Her music for years and been a fan sinse 2016.❤🎸🎤

[@spiritualtaurus7942]

Dude, she totally has the Krabby Patty secret formula.

[@georgeservian9383]

The secret ingredient is love!

[@jbomber44]

Not sure if this is what she was going for but "Jolt" is a perfect name for this piece. The strong pull of the groove from 6/8 meter really lulls you into a calm sense of "everything is just and controlled" as you steadily bounce your knee to evenly divided measures of 3 and 3; only to have to JOLTed awake by the abbreviated measures of 5/8, or subdivisions of 2 and 3. This song REEKS of tension and release; and that's exactly what makes it great and (maybe?) gives it its name. Phenomenal work once again from Yvette!!

The time signature doesn't stay consistent. It changes all over the place.

[@mjwdrums2869]

I feel it is more to do with the subdivisions, I’m not too sure for the whole of the track yet, but during the beginning (and then at the end), the subdivisions were switching between being phrased as sextuplets (123 456) to being phrased as quintuplets (12 345). Hope this helps :)

[@nuttynate6161]

Between Covet and her solo work Yvette is truly one of the greatest modern musicians. Been a fan since 2016 and haven’t been let down since.

Yvette and the Covet gang never have a boring music video

[@ryanarndt5505]

I really appreciate how as soon as they start playing, all traces of stiff, robotic movement are gone and they're both just grooving. There's something so satisfying about watching musicians get lost in their music and seemingly involuntarily move along with it.

[@peytonnself7456]

Fr… it’s like you won’t let us catch up on this one, but you hit my feelies, you, Debussy, and satie keep me alive and aware at work everyday so thank you and please don’t stop
