Ralph Covert returns to his singer-songwriter roots with a stirringly intimate collection of post- pop acoustic gems. The lyrics and melodies evoke comparisons to artists like Elliott Smith and Paul McCartney, arranged with sparse yet sparkling production in the vein of Beck and fellow Chicagoans Wilco. The album is a reflective and tuneful meditation on life. As the Los Angeles Times puts it, “Covert blends smart lyrics with instrumental arrangements that appeal to music lovers of all ages.”
The Welcome to Deadsville album provides a soulful soundtrack for adult living. “People use phrases like, ‘I was in a dark place,’ or ‘...a bad place,’” Covert explains, “and the idea struck me – what if it was a real place? Even better, a fancy tourist destination, like a resort?” The idea of Deadsville opened the window into looking at life’s more serious issues from a satirical yet playful perspective. “It seems to me our society does a poor job of addressing more challenging emotional experiences,” Covert adds. “If it’s not a ‘Facebook feeling,’ we’re taught to look the other way and repress our emotions in many ways. Life contains a much richer palette of experiences than that, and I wanted to make an album that explored anger, grief, fear, and depression as well as happiness, love, and joy. The fictional resort of Deadsville is an effort to help open that conversation.”
