Overcoats / Yoke Lore
Overcoats is the New York-based female duo, Hana Elion and JJ Mitchell. Their debut album, YOUNG, captures a sound that is rich in minimalism and melody. Overcoats’s music draws strength from vulnerability, finds light in darkness, and portrays the catharsis of simple, honest songwriting. YOUNG is about a transformation: the passage into womanhood, sung through the shared experiences of two best friends.
Adrian Galvin's latest endeavor is his solo project under the name Yoke Lore, which, according to a press release, was “founded in the essence of human connection.” Yoke Lore continues to mold his folk sound, tapping into the bright, neopsychedelic of Animal Collective, and the smart, deconstructed pop of Dirty Projectors. This new and unique sound is showcased in “Safety,” the latest single off his forthcoming debut EP, Far Shore.
