[Machine Translation] Dance music of marginal velocity. Overmono, the duo of brothers Ed Russell aka Tessera and Tom Russell aka Truss, are at the forefront of UK bass, breakbeat and techno music. In 2024, they released their second album "PureDevotion" on XL RECORDINGS, which began as a bold reimagining of Overmono's live set. Pure Devotion" has since evolved into a phenomenon, closing the Glastonbury West Holts stage, selling out the Alexandra Palace in London, headlining and curating the Warehouse Project in Manchester, and performing in the US, Australia, and Europe. curating, and touring the US, Australia, and Japan. While most artists would be exhausted after a tour, Overmono rather went into the studio, further reinforcing their desire to create new music. While on tour, Overmono continued to produce, releasing a series of collaborations with artists such as Joy Orbison, High Contrast, Fred Again, Lil Yotti, Kweng Faith, and The Streets, all of which have garnered great popularity and support. All of these works have been highly popular and well received. This album, which bears the same name as the live series, is Overmono's most ambitious project to date. It is the sound of beautiful imperfections, equipment malfunctions, and accidental moments. What makes it all possible is the unwavering confidence that Overmono has cultivated over the years as it has worked at the forefront of underground electronic music and then catapulted to become one of the leading dance music acts of the last decade. Throughout the 11 tracks, Overmono boldly expands its recording methods, incorporating experimental production techniques such as 70s and 80s synthesizers, old train announcement speakers, and even crash cymbals actually baked in an oven. Every choice is imbued with a strong sense of will and physicality, a feeling that is also reflected in the emotional vocals of renowned British poet John Joseph Holt, his friend Kindra, and Rathven of the Paul Institute. Lockup" is the lead single from the album, which premiered as BBC Radio 1's "Hottest Record. Inspired by Simon Reynolds' book Rip It Up and Start Again, the song was the result of Overmono's deep exploration of the impulsive, rule-breaking spirit of the post-punk era, which led to the release of the album's lead single "Lockup" by Birmingham cult band Fast Relief, The result is a work that samples "What A Waste" by the cult Birmingham band Fast Relief. The furiously pounding beat and heart-thumping bassline are enveloped by delicate, beautiful chords. The contrast is visually expressed by Doberman in a cinematic film shot and directed by longtime collaborator Lolo Jackson. - - About the film, brothers Tom & Ed Russell said the following. We wanted this album to be a kind of confinement of our studio space itself. We were just experimenting with tons of ways to process, record, and reamp the sound. "The vocals still don't sound right? This synth needs more bounce? Let's try playing it through a 1930s train station announcer's speaker. I ran the tape over magnets, smashed the speakers, and finally made use of a very cheap overclocking FX unit I got in Bromley years ago. I even baked cymbals in the oven covered in coffee grounds, potato chips, and vinegar - thanks to Sylvia Massey. I would also like to thank the wonderful artists who worked with me - Rollo, John Holt, Kindra, and Rathven. This album would not have been possible without their help, and I am truly honored to have been a part of it. Thanks also to all the artists I sampled, all the studios I recorded in, and all the engineers I learned from in the process of making this work. And to everyone who takes the time to listen, thank you endlessly. This piece was made for you. With Love" T&E x / Includes a commentary.
