Nest Sessions: Yvette Young on Internet Stalkers

In this month’s Nest Session, David and Rob are joined in the studio by Yvette Young, frontwoman of math rock band Covet, and an incredible guitarist who ended up on a Rolling Stone list of greatest guitarists of all time. She also really, really loves birds (including the kiwi) - so how would we not have her in the Flightless Bird studio? As well as sharing her amazing guitar skills in an intimate performance, Young also shares a terrifying, sobering story about what it’s like when you get the wrong kind of attention from a fan.

Infinitely curious but never judgmental, each week, David (along with cohost and American Rob) seeks to understand what makes America so unique, strange, and wonderful. #flightlessbird #davidfarrier #documentary #yvetteyoung #indiemusic #newmusic #indie #music #nestsessions #mathrock #Covet #rockmusic #rock
