How refreshing to watch talented musicians enjoy themselves in the delivery of their art. These liberated women with the uplifting vocals turned mens' XXXL T-shirts into Goddess' robes. Inspiring.
Whoah, really great mix of Blues/Folk with Electronic production. Definitely will be checking out that album. I'm such a sucker of harmonized vocals. Thanks NPR for introducing me to another fantastic group/artist
I'm usually very critical about music, I can't help it. If I'm not intrigued in the first 10 seconds or get goose bumps then I move on. This harmonizing got me good. thx!
they played at my college last year and i hadn't heard of them before, but i've loved them ever since!! so happy to see they have a tiny desk concert :)
Honestly, a top 5 tiny desk! Love it and thanks for introducing me to these lovely ladies. Can't wait to check them out next time they tour in my neck of the woods!
Thank you so much NPR! First time I heard of Overcoats was in the TV Show Cloak and Dagger, where in a dramatic scene "leave a light on" was played. That was an instant buy. And now, after listening time and again to the Album "young" it still won't get boring. Love the harmony in their voices!
Ooooo chils down the spine - thanks both - and to NPR think this the closest to an itimate consert there is , def a fav - why is it so long to 21'st ? not fair :P thanks all
The lyrics are so simplistic that it sounds like they were written by middle schoolers. But despite that, their harmonies are very tight and their energy is infectious. I can't help but enjoy it
heard about them from mitski's new touring line up but i just found out that both hana and jj are alumni at my college and the timing aosidjaoi omg i'm moving out tomorrow 😂small world after all
its rare to see in todays pop culture musicians/artists being authentically themselves and having fun. this is great. Also, is the song around the five minute a Lucious Jackson song remake?
When you were mad at Mili Vanilli but not these two. They don't sing or even play their instruments at shows. The songs totally bang and they perform well but don't expect live music. That said if you can sell albums and tickets, keep going.
CheeryMrO it's still illegal even if you're a mormon. But the mormon bible says that when you die you become a god on an alien planet lol and Black people apparently were turned black because they were too neutral in the battle against the devil 😂 I have a friend who an anti-theist and he has two wives, and it's fine. Like mormons clearly don't understand that the first humans were really dark-skinned and evolution turned humans white through partial albinism
Honestly, I've long since been a big fan of their earlier tracks -- Walk On, Little Memory, the Fog, etc. But the first two songs of this performance just really didn't quite do it for me. I regret saying that, truly. The last song was much more the Overcoats I was looking for / hoping for. All of this is to say, I'm not much one for (pre) expectations, but it just felt a tad... chintzy? Idk. Maybe it was the whole 'dance party' aspect that threw me off from the vocals and inflection(s). Even the most non-judgemental can be quite the opposite, myself included. Even scrolling down to write this, and not watching, can marginally change how I feel. I guess part of it might be the background pre-recorded vocal call/echoes, or something like that. Anyone feel me? The lyrics were one aspect that felt a little shallow or too repetitive, something of the sort. Obviously, they haven't lost a follower by any means, and I'm sure more listening will change how I feel, respectively. I mean, it's only one short performance, but I wasn't wholly 'wow'd'.
i toootally agree. not sure how these new songs will go over live. i saw them about a year ago as an opener & they killed it. i'm seeing them for their headline show next month, so it'll be interesting to see how the performance compares.
the first song (its called 23) really didn’t sound as good live, but it’s actually super good once you download it! i think that when they sang it live, it wasn’t quite right, but i do recommend giving it a try.

Ahhhh, i actually get CHILLS when they start dancing. I love people just being themselves.😍
I just recently discovered Overcoats, and I'm obsessed. So happy they have a Tiny Desk Concert!
These two are on the verge of massive stardom. Just Wait and see.
overcoats always serving looks and amazing harmonies
Whoah, really great mix of Blues/Folk with Electronic production. Definitely will be checking out that album. I'm such a sucker of harmonized vocals. Thanks NPR for introducing me to another fantastic group/artist
I love these voices, and they sing so well together
I'm usually very critical about music, I can't help it. If I'm not intrigued in the first 10 seconds or get goose bumps then I move on. This harmonizing got me good. thx!
Nay Tecuan SAME!
The cute little fist bump after "Leave the Light On" get me every time... 😍🥰
These are fucking great, never heard of them before, so thanks NPR! Love how much they're enjoying it and dancing away together.
p.s please one day get Frank Ocean on here, would be amazing

they played at my college last year and i hadn't heard of them before, but i've loved them ever since!! so happy to see they have a tiny desk concert :)
I saw them live in St. Louis - they're absolutely entrancing, and so friendly.
Honestly, a top 5 tiny desk! Love it and thanks for introducing me to these lovely ladies. Can't wait to check them out next time they tour in my neck of the woods!
Outstanding vocals, ladies. I'm impressed. Definitely a 4 chair turn.
Love their energy! Especially in the second song!
They look like they're having so much fun!!!
Their spirit is so infectious!

Nice Muse Work!

Thanks for fixing
What was wrong with the old one?
+Brendan O'Toole Sound cut out completely about 7 minutes in. Happened for everyone according to the comments on the old upload they took down.
Ah, I listened to their first song then had to go to class, glad they got it fixed.
ahhh
Wow!
The lyrics are so simplistic that it sounds like they were written by middle schoolers. But despite that, their harmonies are very tight and their energy is infectious. I can't help but enjoy it
Underrated
So Good ªªªªª
heard about them from mitski's new touring line up but i just found out that both hana and jj are alumni at my college and the timing aosidjaoi omg i'm moving out tomorrow 😂small world after all
Npr, please invite Vulfpeck to come play!!!!
I GO 1...6...1...2............STAR!!!
That would be so awesome!

Hana giving me Mirah vibes. Love this.
A woman's voice is the greatest instrument
type of artists who birthed alot of new mainstreamers
its rare to see in todays pop culture musicians/artists being authentically themselves and having fun. this is great. Also, is the song around the five minute a Lucious Jackson song remake?
Vance Joy or Nothing But Thieves please! OR BOTH! I'd be so great. Keep up the great work
Sweet girls with such lovely tight harmonies.
Please have Mt. Eddy
the ads in the middle of the video is killing the vibe.
cool
Joey Dosik! get him on!
The guitarist has a classic 1920s/30s look about her. Someone cast her!
They really look like coats
Random but the girl with the dark hair looks just like Abbi from Broad City
Very First Aid Kit
this is why i love women lyricists
Need to get Maggie Rodgers on here
She's already been on!
Johnny Flynn please
Dance party.
LEL That's Soft Glas
What's with the way they pronounce their r's?
When you were mad at Mili Vanilli but not these two. They don't sing or even play their instruments at shows. The songs totally bang and they perform well but don't expect live music. That said if you can sell albums and tickets, keep going.
What kind if guitar is thaaaaattt???
que giras parecem saídas do banho
Allen Rayman please! He's the most mysterious Hip-hop artist of this time
Hester de Jong no literally, he really is
They sound like the Parkington sisters.
I get Tegan and Sara vibes.
Why did they get the drummer if they mostly sing to playback anyway? :/
They look like one of the lady's in the ROBERT PALMER addicted to love video...
One of them sounds like Crissy Cochrane
Didn't the girl in the black hair try to kill John Wick?
not a massive fan of the music, but their energy is great. these guys would be great at a party.
I'm becoming a Mormon. I've decided I need two wives
