about

“New Suede Shoes” was the first track Overcoats created with Winner album producer Daniel Tashian, whose credits include the GRAMMY-winning Kacey Musgraves album Golden Hour. The crystalline and sprawling “New Suede Shoes” instantly set the stage for the playful spontaneity that would come to define the album-making process. Sparked from a moment at the start of the session when Elion spilled iced coffee all over the shoes she’d just purchased, the song soon morphed into a matter-of-fact look at “wanting to be independent and make your own tracks in life, but also recognizing the shortcomings that get in the way of that,” as Mitchell puts it. Graced with a fuzzed-out bass solo from Tashian, “New Suede Shoes” ultimately hits a heady balance of self-celebration and ultra-vivid realism (e.g., “I’m old enough to know/How to take a slow dive/In my fake fur coat/On Riverside”).

lyrics

NEW SUEDE SHOES:

I feel like a Gemini
Always changing my mind
Never picking a side
Oh I feel like I need more time
Cuz I’m still a child
Cuz I’m still a child

Out on the edge, I’m standing tall
In my new suede shoes
That I spilled something on
But it won't be long ‘til I make a move
I’ve been in the same place
Gotta find my own way
Think I’m gonna go upstate
In my new suede shoes
I’m standing tall
In my new suede shoes

I’m almost 29
But I’m a daddy’s girl
Haven’t seen the world
I’m old enough to know
How to take a slow dive
In my fake fur coat
On Riverside

Oh I’m out on the edge, I’m standing tall
In my new suede shoes
That I spilled something on
But it won't be long ‘til I make a move
I’ve been in the same place
Gotta find my own way
Think I’m gonna go upstate
In my new suede shoes
I’m standing tall
In my new suede shoes

In my new suede shoes
Out on the edge
Im standing tall, in my, in my
But it won't be long ‘til I make a move
I’ve been in the same place
Gotta find my own way
Think I’m gonna go upstate
In my new suede shoes
I’m standing tall
In my new suede shoes
