OVERMONO RELEASE NEW ALBUM ‘PURE DEVOTION’
Overmono release their highly anticipated second album, Pure Devotion, via XL Recordings. To mark the release, the duo will play their biggest London headline show to date – a sold-out performance at Old Royal Naval College. Alongside it, Overmono will revive The Two Dogs pub, this time taking over The Dog & Bell in Deptford (116 Prince St, London SE8 3JD) from 12 PM today, 7 August, giving fans another chance to step into the Overmono world.
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 recording 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. Across the 11 tracks, Overmono have adopted 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.
Over the next week, Overmono travel to some of their favourite record stores across the country, including London, Bristol, Nottingham and Liverpool. These gigs precede a huge run of festival and headline live shows. The recently announced Pure Devotion world tour kicks off on Friday 25 September and culminates at L’Olympia in Paris. Full tour dates listed below. Tickets are on sale now via overmono.com.
