Coves have risen quietly, but elegantly. Last year they released their critically acclaimed debut album Soft Friday, which won them firm support from the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe, Huw Stephens and Nick Grimshaw, 6Music’s Lauren Laverne, Don Letts and Radcliffe and Maconie and XFM’s John Kennedy, to name but a few.
At the end of 2014, hot on the foot of US and European tours with The Raveonettes and St. Vincent, the UK-duo returned to The Cave to record their brand new EP Spectrum. Laced with driving riffs, propulsive beats and glacial atmospherics, and spiked with Beck’s chilling lyrics of lying wolves, spurned lovers, star lights and dark nights the four-song ep strikes like a shard of glass to the heart.
