Overmono announce Pure Devotion, the follow-up to Good Lies
The British duo detail their new album Pure Devotion, the follow-up to their 2023 debut Good Lies, with some genuinely strange recording methods.
Overmono are back with Pure Devotion
Overmono have detailed Pure Devotion, their new album and the follow-up to 2023's Good Lies. According to Pitchfork, the record arrives with a story worth telling before a single note is heard.
Cymbal, coffee grounds, crisps, vinegar
The duo reportedly "oven-baked a cymbal covered in coffee grounds, crisps, and vinegar" as part of the recording process. It is a characteristically odd approach for a project that has always treated texture as seriously as rhythm or melody. Whether that baked cymbal ends up front and center or buried deep in the mix is the kind of question Pure Devotion will presumably answer.
Context
Good Lies, released in 2023, established Overmono as one of the more interesting propositions in contemporary UK electronic music. It balanced club-facing intensity with something more patient and open. Pure Devotion now carries the weight of following that up, and the early details suggest they are not playing it safe.
