Zane Lowe Premieres Overcoats' Bold New Song "Leave The Light On" From Debut Album 'Young' (4/21, Arts & Crafts)
Band Confirms Dates Supporting Maggie Rogers This Month, Along With Additional Headlining Dates On The West Coast
This afternoon, Zane Lowe premiered the new single from Overcoats on his Beats 1 show. The club-ready, brass-heavy song "Leave The Light On" is the latest cut from Overcoats' debut album 'YOUNG' (4/21, Arts & Crafts). Listen here and feel free to share: https://youtu.be/WhHsZZscNKQ
In addition to the new song, the band has confirmed a number of dates opening for Maggie Rogers this month, along with more headlining dates on the west coast in June. The band will also perform at SXSW before embarking on their tour in support of 'YOUNG' in April. Full tour routing below.
'YOUNG' has earned early praise from Gorilla vs. Bear and NPR's All Songs Considered, who praised "the splendor of its deliberate harmony." Co-produced by Nicolas Vernhes (The War On Drugs, Dirty Projectors) and Autre Ne Veut, 'YOUNG' is a story about growing up told through the lens of two women who are wise beyond their years.
Overcoats is comprised of former college roommates Hana Elion and JJ Mitchell, who co-wrote all twelve songs on 'YOUNG.' The two were drawn to each other when they first met as teenagers in 2011, finding connection in a love of diverse musical styles, and forging a closeness that verges on sisterhood. Both members of Overcoats describe the first time hearing each other sing as an epiphany: the harmony of their voices leading to personal, individual discovery.
