Overcoats announce new EP with Tennis collaboration "The Hardest Part"

"The Hardest Part" is the first taster of Overcoats' new EP, and marks their first release of 2021 as well as being their debut collaboration with Tennis.

Hana and JJ, aka Overcoats, say of the track, "This song is about coming to terms with a relationship being over. And the hard reality that you may never know where that person ends up or what they do. It’s about letting go. We brought this song to Tennis because it needed their nostalgic retro pop sound to help tell this story. And it needed to be cooler. Alaina’s sultry vocals tickle the ears throughout the track and the signature Tennis guitar sounds soothe along the lyrically heavy journey."

Tennis add, "Hana and JJ are like family to us. We love them as artists and humans and would always say yes to working with them. This was our first long distance collaboration and the whole experience was effortless and a much needed distraction from the relentless disappointment of last year."

Used To Be Scared Of The Dark will be Overcoats' first collection of songs since last year's second album The Fight, and will feature contributions from Middle Kids, Lawrence Rothman and Local Natives' Ryan Hahn across the EP's four tracks.

Hana says of the EP, "All of these songs were made remotely, which was a really wild experience. It required a lot of trust in ourselves and in our collaborators. We have loved all of these artists for so long, we knew that the intersection between their sound and ours would be cool no matter what."
