Overcoats, the inventive duo comprised of JJ Mitchell and Hana Elion, have shared their infectious new single, “Never Let You Go,” which arrives as the band announces its forthcoming eagerly awaited new studio album, Winner, set for release on April 7th via their imprint, Never Fall Back Records, distributed by Thirty Tigers. Co-written by Overcoats, Kate York (Lady A, Little Big Town) and Mikey Reaves (Miranda Lambert, Caylee Hammack), “Never Let You Go” is an irresistible earworm. Featuring the band’s signature lush harmonies set against a crisp arrangement of beats and sparkling piano, the track is a slice of indie-pop perfection. The song finds Overcoats evolving as songwriters, continuing to blur pop, country and electronic music.
The new album Winner was produced by two-time Grammy-winner Daniel Tashian (a co-producer on Kacey Musgraves’s widely acclaimed Golden Hour), and exhibits a graceful musicality first displayed on Overcoats’ debut album YOUNG (a 2017 release that earned praise from the likes of The New York Times and NPR Music, who placed it at #4 on its best-of-the-year list). As a bold departure from YOUNG’s sparse electronic pop and the atmospheric indie-rock of The Fight (a 2020 release that nabbed them a Breakthrough Artist nomination from the American Association of Independent Music), the album encompasses a warm and luminous sound sculpted from a tightly curated mix of elements: earthy guitar tones, elegantly rugged textures, and the duo’s heavenly harmonies. In staying true to their origins, Overcoats also incorporated frenetic beats that perfectly echo New York’s pulsating electricity.
