COUVO SINGLE RELEASE SHOW @ UNION POOL

Next Couvo songs drops this Friday.

Someone described my music as songs for your End of the World playlist. And this upcoming release fits the bill. It’s an indie-folk ode to finding meaning in life as we dance closer to the cusp of some global catastrophe.

You can presave it here.

Fun stuff! Right?

Well, let’s not let the fun end there. If you’re in NYC, come celebrate the new song with us @ Union Pool this Friday night!

If you plan on coming, BUY TIX NOW. Last time we played at Union Pool, we sold out before the doors opened and I don’t want to see you get turned away.

EVERYTHING YOU GIVE - LIVE

This song is near and dear to my heart. If you dig what the Couvo thing is all about, I believe you’ll enjoy taking the time to watch this vid.

If you do give this a listen, write me back—I always love the messages I get back from you guys on this email list. Think of this newsletter as a dialogue between all of good ppl here.

THE DRINKS ARE ALWAYS FREE IN PURGATORY - THE SHORT FILM

And, finally… (drum roll please)

The Drinks Are Always Free in Purgatory - The Short Film is officially live to the public on YouTube!

I know many of you have already seen it, but for the uninitiated:

This is a short film we made last summer based on my album, The Drinks Are Always Free in Purgatory.

Here’s what our friend Sam Sumpter from Bandsdobk had to say:

It is, after all, the bizarro world that is Bushwick in which Josh Couvares has set The Drinks Are Always Free in Purgatory (September 2022), a series of songs that explore the hope and (occasional) hustle for a tomorrow that never comes through the lens of a protagonist existing in “that liminal space, set in an all-too-familiar landscape of unfulfilled expectations and uncertain futures.”

And it’s this very L-Train-adjacent limbo—a space characterized by both artistic expression/obsession plus a not insignificant dash of arrested development—in which Josh has set the film, which centers on himself as an endearing and unlucky semi-slacker of a musician (according to credits: “himself?”) who is kind of (?) making an effort, perpetually recognizing the ridiculousness of the world he inhabits but also actively participating in it. To various degrees of humiliation.
