On April 21, Arts & Crafts will release YOUNG, the debut album from New York-based duo Overcoats. 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, wise beyond their years. The lead single “Hold Me Close” deals with the complexities of love set to a backdrop of lush electronic beats and entangled with seamlessly intertwining harmonies.

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, connecting over a love of diverse musical styles, and forming a bond that borders on sisterhood. Both members of Overcoats describe the first time hearing each other sing as an epiphany: the harmony of their voices leading to their own individual discoveries.

This spring, Overcoats will play select dates opening for Tennis before heading out on a headlining tour later this year. See all dates below.
