Heartbreakingly pretty, it sounds so pure that it brings you to that almost childlike place where you're innocent all over again... listening to Cove becomes an intimate, earnest experience likely to make you cry or turn you on.

...with a debut this good, Oregon's precious secret, in the form of a bedroom pop quintet, may not be a secret for much longer.
-Rachael Darmanin, CMJ.com
...an intimate album with smooth, poignant sentiments of subjects both sordid and sensual at every turn. Each track is subtle, flawless, and overall spellbinding... A Weather has reminded me again of music’s reason for being.
-Jocelyn Hoppa, Crawdaddy Magazine
"Cove" has real impact. Gerber and Winchester split all the singing equally, sometimes crooning together, other times trading verses. Which begs a key question: Are they playing lovers in these songs or just witnesses? Either way, their sweet interactions cut deep.
Jim Farber, New York Daily News
The Portland quintet’s songs are stitched together with cryptic relationship metaphors: nursery rhymes for adults that spell just enough out to pique the listener’s interest, while shrouding the rest in fog. Guitarist/vocalist Aaron Gerber and drummer/vocalist Sarah Winchester sing about arrows in flight, stubbed pinkie toes and small dancing birds. The pair trades half-whispers over a small, soft orchestra of sea-breeze organ and bells. The drums sound like rain, and the guitar is a smoke ring that rolls and finally disperses. And after you let it under your skin, you remember: Finding something that speaks your language is nice, but it’s far more rewarding to learn a new one altogether.

With Cove, A Weather bring new meaning to the whispering, romantic indie-folk renderings of predecessors like Kings of Convenience and, at times, Camera Obscura and Belle and Sebastian. Album tracks "Spiders, Snakes," "Hanging Towers of Baltimore," and "Screw Up Your Courage" highlight an impressively fluid yet never repetitive record. -William Goodman, Spin.com
Slow, smooth, captivating, trance-inducing — the intertwined vocals of Aaron Gerber and Sarah Winchester are hard to break away from once they've caught you. There is an incredible beauty to these tracks. -3hive.com
“Aaron Gerber is much more than an emerging new indie songwriter. He is that special someone you already know you will follow closely during the next years, one of these very few voices that, from now on, will always mean a lot for the rest of your life.”
