Covey Shares Video For “Same White Shoes” | Debut Album ‘Haggarty’ Out Now

-The 405“It’s a sailboat riding uncharted waves of layered strings, carrying itself with moody grace and the wisdom of a weathered pilot.”

-All Things Go“There’s something wonderfully satiating about the way the guitar tones compliment each other — satisfying melodic intricacies entering and exiting at the right moments. ”

-The Wild Honey Pie

Today, Boston-based folk rock project Covey shares the video for “Same White Shoes,” off their debut LP, Haggarty. PopMatters premieres the video writing, “With tinges of outsider rock and lo-fi classics in the vein of Pavement and Guided By Voices, the cut of Covey’s jib is one that’s hard not to like.”

The 405 reviewed the full length Haggarty, “From album opener ‘////’ through closer ‘In Or Out,’ Freeman proves that he possesses a near-supernatural talent for writing compelling, honest and moving songs. This is a talent that should not be taken lightly. What we have here is a genuine talent, one who deserves all the attention he is receiving and then some. The record’s sincere passion likely isn’t hurt that Haggarty is a very personal project for Freeman.”

Covey is fronted by British multi-intrumentalist and vocalist, Tom Freeman. The album maintains Covey’s signature folk sound, with a punk pop influences and indie rock flare. The 10-track LP deals with themes of isolation, nostalgia, and navigating through distance and disarray. Haggarty draws similarities from Covey’s previous releases, like “Bows” and “Daisies,” with a more evolved sound. It features performances by Guillermo Goldschmied on bass, Adam Marks on keys, and Dillon Rovere on drums. The album was mixed and mastered by Alex Garcia-Rivera and recorded at Mystic Valley Recording, an all analog studio in Medford, MA. The record is available in CD, Vinyl, and limited Cassettes (which were put together personally by Tom), and will be distributed digitally by Spotify, Bandcamp, iTunes, and Google Play.

Covey has amassed over 110,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, and single “Comes And Goes,” currently stands at over 2 million plays. Since relocating to the United States for school in 2010, Covey has managed to connect with listeners across the world through soul-baring lyrics and raw vocals.
