“Unsafe Passage” – Seph Cove

I’ve always believed that music finds you at the right time. So I don’t believe it’s any coincidence that Seph Cove has just dropped his beautiful new EP Unsafe Passage just as I’m feeling anxious about easing COVID restrictions. Thankfully Seph’s music is like a big warm hug in these uncertain times.

After enjoying the singles “Sirens” and “Helen,” I knew this EP would be right up my alley. Those singles set Unsafe Passage up beautifully. Just like those singles, the remaining songs cast a spell, creating calm with the beautifully layered folk instrumentation, Seph’s poetic lyrics, and his rich voice. The songs gently melt into one another. They might not show a lot of diversity, but I think that’s OK. Seph knows his sound. There’s a gentle confidence about what he does, and he does it so well.

Unsafe Passage
might not set the charts on fire, but I think that’s OK too. While it lacks catchy, radio-friendly numbers, it’s a beautiful collection of songs that listeners can take into their hearts. Arguably that’s more important.

Unsafe Passage was released today.

Seph Cove Releases Beautiful New Single, “Helen”

The last couple of years have been pretty tough on most of us. We’ve had lockdowns, letdowns, and with the threat of the virus still looming it seems there’s a lot more in store. Seph Cove gives voice to these challenges in “Helen,” a song he penned for a friend who suffered through recent lockdowns. It might have been written with a certain person in mind, but I’m sure it’s going to resonate with so many of you.

“I wrote this song in response to learning about the upsetting half-year a friend of mine had during the lockdown in 2020,” Seph explained. “It was such an important reminder to have perspective. I wanted to let my friend know they had support and that despite everything, they were a very, very good person.”

In good news for Seph fans, there’s more new music on the way. He’ll drop his latest EP, Unsafe Passage, on February 18.

Listen to Seph Cove’s “Sirens” Song

Melbourne-born, Byron-based singer-songwriter Seph Cove has a new single “Sirens,” and it’s just what you need to ease into your workday. It’s a chilled-out piece of acoustic folk which wraps you up like a big, warm hug. The song’s lyrics, which explore the common trap of looking on to the next thing without appreciating the present, really resonate.

“When I finally thought about my life in the present, what was good was now gone,” he explained.

“Sirens” is the first track lifted from Seph’s forthcoming sophomore EP.
