Overcoats announce second album with optimistic lead single "Fire & Fury"
Brooklyn duo Overcoats have announced their sophomore album The Fight, which arrives with the lead single "Fire & Fury".
"Fire & Fury" follows on from last year's "Leave If You Wanna", "Keep The Faith", and "The Fool", all of which will also feature on their new record.
Speaking about their new record, which will follow on from their 2017 debut LP YOUNG, Overcoats say, "The idea you have to fight for who you are, what you want, and what you hope to see in the world became poignant for us. We realized the thing to do is not to wait for life to get easier, but to start fighting harder."
Hana Elion of the duo adds, "This album is going to break your heart, but also try to put it back together. Allowing the guitar to dictate the sound, we tried to represent all of the stages of what this realization was. It’s not just depression, anger, and sadness; it’s the motivational stage too. It’s the pop song that helps to distract you from your sadness. It’s a call-to-arms to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and fight to stay alive."
