"The chills they give me; the fact that I can't look away when they perform; their complex and irresistible harmonies; the vulnerability to their words and the dance-y beats they put behind them." - Bob Boilen
Since the release of their groundbreaking record YOUNG, Overcoats have taken 2017 by storm receiving critical acclaim and being hailed as one of the breakthrough acts of the year. The duo came in at number 3 on the NPR Favorite New Artist poll with one listener describing them as "Totally rad ladies with smart lyrics, sweet vocals, and powerful, sometimes-gritty backing music that's kind of dark but very danceable." They also stopped by the NPR offices and delivered this breathtakingTiny Desk performance.
Billboard also included YOUNG in their top albums of the year so far writing "supported by infectious electronic beats that can both amp up intensity and diminish for more tender moments -- that help their painfully relatable (though often minimal) lyrics hit home."
Overcoats is the project of best friends Hana Elion and JJ Mitchell. YOUNG captures a sound rich in minimalism and melody: songs of connection and tension, on the depths of love and challenges of family. Overcoats' music draws strength from vulnerability, finding light through darkness, and the catharsis of simple, honest songwriting.
After selling out venues around the country in the spring, Overcoats are bringing their captivating live show to audiences around North America. Check out the full run of shows below and don't miss out on seeing what is one of the most exciting and dynamic new bands to emerge this year.
