Life in Technicolour

“I know it sounds cheesy... But guitar really did save my life,” says Covet singer/ guitarist Yvette Young ahead of the release of the trio’s second full-length, Technicolor. In the middle of an interview about the key instruments, amps and effects used on its 10 dazzling shoegaze-y tracks, she drops a bombshell on how her trusty six-string was there for her in her greatest time of need, giving her the strength and courage to ponder and eventually embrace a more positive future. It’s an incredible powerful message to share.

“I didn’t take guitar seriously until I was in hospital, thinking I’d have to live there for a long time,” she continues. “I was really depressed about it and decided it would be a good outlet for me. I wrote some sad songs with lyrics and really started focusing on music.

“I was not in a good place but having a new instrument to teach myself was so empowering. It made me feel like I had a voice and gave me confidence. That’s what really pulled me out of that darkness... I took that with me through college and never looked back!”
