Formed in the Italian city of Vicenza, newcomer outfit Cove is a rising rock band making an impact with their debut single, “Rain.” Led by the award-winning bassist and songwriter Tommaso Monaco, known as Tomm, the trio, including Mattia Sottoriva on guitar and drummer Vittorio Dal Maso, offers a glimpse into their musical universe that’s as unique as it is compelling.
Their individual sonic flair stitches together to create a sound that draws influence from various musical genres and artists. Tomm infuses desert rock roots with pop punk and classical undertones, while Sotto channels the aesthetic of Sonic Youth and Vitt brings in a mix of jazz, ambient and new wave influences.
Despite the band members now residing in different cities, their shared vision, musical chemistry and creative synergy keep Cove united. Now they made their emphatic entrance with their debut single, unveiling their unique brand of rock music with the track titled “Rain.”
With the band members based in different locations, the song was recorded in different places and mixed in Brazil. The song kicks of with a haunting guitar riff that conjures images of brooding storm clouds. “Rain” serves as the first collaborative effort of the band and it’s a striking introduction to their captivating musical output.
Opened by the laid back twang of a lightly gritty guitar riff, the mellow shuffle of drums ushers in Tomm’s vocals, balancing subtle rock swagger with delicate and precise delivery, reflecting the aesthetic of Alex Turner’s style. Crafting a hazy indie rock scene capped by moody melodies, catchy songwriting and stellar musicianship, “Rain” serves up a superb taste of the band’s original sound.
With a swinging rock groove and slick guitar leads, the song builds to a memorable finale where guitar licks overlap with smokey vocalisations to create a sensational introduction to an exciting new band who are set to win over fans around the world during what’s sure to be their breakout year. Each member contributed from their own home studios, with drums recorded in Vicenza, guitars split between Bologna and Bolzano and bass and vocals recorded in Bologna with the mix and master handled by Fabio Mucci, a Brazilian audio engineer who also collaborated on Tomm’s solo work.
