Brooklyn-based indie pop newcomer, Couvo (aka Josh Couvares), is getting to release his new album When This All Ends (out April 24), mixed by Charlie Stavish (Jenny Lewis, Interpol, Weezer) and mastered by Robin Schmidt (The 1975, The Japanese House).
When This All Ends is a coming-of-age tale for Couvares, who plans to keep exuberance intact but yearns to jettison reckless abandon and feckless joy, now a 26-year-old working-class citizen; and while he may not be The Only Living Boy in New York, he’s not impervious to loneliness. Swallowing the dregs that remain of youthful naiveté, the unassuming crooner yields wistful, spirited coos akin to Ezra Koenig and Morning Benders era Chris Chu. Through character-driven exploits of the heart and semi-autobiographical accounts, Couvo’s lyrics take precedence, though his big-hearted choruses remain unaffected, and equally poignant.
We’re thrilled to premiere the new track “Falling Asleep With The Lights On”- streaming below! The song grabs you from the first line of Couvo’s stunning vocals. Building slowly, the track floats along softly until the final minute’s crescendo. The song leaves you wanting more, but not at all in a bad way. You simply can’t wait to see what’s next. Enjoy!
In his own words:
“I woke up late one Saturday with the lights on. I also may or may not have been still wearing my clothes from the night before. One of those kinds of mornings. My friend was picking me up in twenty minutes to head to the studio, and I had this lightbulb moment: “Falling asleep with the lights on, could that be a song?” It was one of those rare instances where I wrote the whole thing on the first go, all between the time of waking up and my friend picking me up. We started cutting it that day.
What are those fleeting thoughts that occupy your mind when you’re a little drunk and about to fall asleep? What are those hopes and desires you entertain when your attention is free to focus on anything it wants? That’s what this song’s all about. And the audio that bookends the song — it’s the actual sound of my next-door neighbor’s party bleeding through my bedroom wall.”
