FLOATING COATS | ATTIC



THE "GOLD COATS" B REEL ... This here simply proves what we already know: the COATS are, in fact, the greatest minds of their generation. Collecting a boatload worth of out-takes, stage banter, half-formulated B-List originals, rarely played covers, free-form jams, and half-lucid moments of staggering genius, we present the B REEL:
