Overmono announce their hotly-anticipated second album, Pure Devotion, pressed to zoetrope picture disc A-side and cover image B-side, limited to 1,000 copies and hand-numbered. Sharing a name with the beloved series of live events they launched in 2024, Pure Devotion is Overmono’s most ambitious project to date. It’s the sound of beautiful imperfections, machine malfunctions and happy accidents, harnessed by the unflinching confidence that Overmono - aka brothers Tom and Ed Russell - have gained through years at the vanguard of underground electronic music, and subsequent breakthrough as one of the defining dance music acts of the decade. Across the 11 tracks, Overmono have pushed their recording process into bold new territories, adopting experimental production techniques that involve synthesisers from the 70s and 80s, an antiquated train announcement speaker, and literally baking a crash cymbal in the oven. There’s a powerful sense of intention and physicality embedded in every choice, which extends to the emotive vocal features from revered British poet John Joseph Holt, close collaborator Kindora, and Paul Institute’s Ruthven. It’s an album that chooses emotion over desensitisation. Craft over efficiency. It's a labour of love. Pure Devotion.
