🖤 Swedish electronic pioneers COVENANT have released the deeply moving Andreas EP, a heartfelt five-song tribute to their late bandmate Andreas Catjar-Danielsson (March 3, 1973 – July 29, 2024). Known for his creative brilliance and contribution to the band’s distinctive sound, Andreas’ legacy continues to resonate through this powerful collection.
✨ The EP serves not only as a musical homage but also as an act of compassion — all proceeds from the Andreas EP will go directly to support Andreas’ wife and children. In an admirable gesture of solidarity, Dependent Records has waived all label profits from the vinyl release, ensuring every purchase directly benefits his family.
🎧 Musically, the Andreas EP channels Covenant’s signature blend of emotional depth and electronic sophistication, carrying traces of melancholy and resilience. It’s a sonic reflection of love, loss, and the unbreakable bonds formed through music. Each track feels like a conversation with the past — an elegy written in synths and silence.
🔥 The EP is now available on all major digital and streaming platforms. Fans and supporters can make a meaningful difference simply by listening or purchasing a copy.
