Overcoats

Overcoats is the New York-based female duo of Hana Elion and JJ Mitchell. Their debut album YOUNG, which Billboard named YOUNG as one of the Top 50 albums of 2017, captured a sound rich in minimalism and melody: songs of connection and tension, on the depths of love and challenges of family. 

Elion and Mitchell were drawn to each other when they first met in 2011, finding connection in their diverse love of music and an immediate closeness that verges on sisterhood. Their meeting was transformative emotionally as well as creatively. Both halves of Overcoats describe the first time hearing each other sing as an epiphany: the harmony of their voices leading to personal, individual discovery. This bond forms the foundation of Overcoats, and it fills the ecosystem of YOUNG with its stunning sound and sentiment.

Most recently, they released their EP Leave If You Wanna / Keep The Faith, featuring single “The Fool.” They’ve toured with Cold War Kids, Mitski, Tennis and played NPR’s Tiny Desk.
