Indie Rock from Couvo

Brooklyn-based artist Josh Couvares makes melodic indie music under the Couvo alias. Offering an upbeat and rhythmic sound, he spins fiercely catchy tunes of modern indie pop that nods back to his influences from the past.

With a blend of shimmery guitar work and energetic vocal delivery, Couvo carves out his own niche to stand out in a crowded scene. A master of story-telling in his music, he creates vibrant characters that take form in song.

His upcoming album, called The Drinks Are Always Free in Purgatory is no exception. Enlisting star-power help, the new album is mixed by Charlie Stavish who has previously worked with Jenny Lewis, Interpol and Weezer, and is mastered by Alex DeTurk who boasts credits on David Bowie, D’Angelo and the Vanguard and Norah Jones.

Lifted from the album comes the brand new single, Horses & Divorces, a song named after a local dive bar in Brooklyn. A rowdy and raucous anthem about getting fired and drinking away the afternoon, the song tells the tale of a broke and jobless individual. The melancholic outlook of the lyrics are contrasted by a jumpy arrangement and lively vocals on this excellent indie pop hit.
