Premiere: I Am Not Paul Avery by William Covert

We’re very proud to bring you the premiere of “I Am Not Paul Avery” by William Covert. Lifted from his forthcoming debut album, get listening below.

 

Music for Synthesizer and Drums the debut album from William Covert (drummer in Space Blood & Droughts) comes out on February 1, 2019, via Coup sur Coup Records with a limited edition cassette tape and digital download.  Chicago visual artist Parker Langvardt created a music video for the album’s opening track  “I Am Not Paul Avery.” The song begins with a 5 note bass synth sequence that sounds like a menacing horror movie soundtrack that slowly builds by adding in more synths, bells, and a lot of drums. The music on the album was crafted on analog synthesizers and analog electronic drums mixed with acoustic drums with all of the songs arranged to be performed live.  Langvardt used analog video synthesizers to make a visual accompaniment to the music. You can pre-order the seven track album on Coup sur Coup Records’ bandcamp page.
