Colorado Public Radio and NPR Share Music From The Overcoats

Colorado Public Radio‘s OpenAir has chosen Overcoats‘ gorgeous “Leave The Light On” as this week’s Download of the Week. The track comes from their hotly-anticipated LP Young, and CPR says it’s “one of the record’s more uptempo songs, driven by a funky horn sample.” In addition to the download, CPR also has a video of the duo’s recent performance of the song in the station’s studio. Check out the feature here and see their performance below.

Young comes out tomorrow via Arts & Crafts. Can’t wait? NPR has a First Listen feature on the album this week. According to Bob Boilen, “Young is a record driven by ambition and passion, not craft. That’s not to say Hana Elion and JJ Mitchell aren’t terrifically talented singers and songwriters: What sets them apart is that I believe them. That the emotion in their harmonies and the space they give each other is filled with compassion. I believe their songs of loneliness and doubt.” Enjoy their dulcet tones here.
