Overmono announce their hotly-anticipated second album, Pure Devotion released on via XL Recordings. 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. What started as a radical reimagining of Overmono’s live show in 2024 evolved into a phenomenon - from headlining Glastonbury’s West Holts to selling out London’s Alexandra Palace and curating Manchester’s Warehouse Project. As Pure Devotion grew onstage in front of tens of thousands of people, its core ideas deepened and crystallised via isolated writing and recordings retreats to Spain and Iceland with nothing but two synths and an FX unit, channeling the momentum into the most life-affirming and groundbreaking music of their career.
