Overmono – Tom and Ed Russell – return today to release ‘Gem Lingo (ovr now)’ featuring the Paul Institute-founding artist Ruthven. The single premiered as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record with Jack Saunders and has been released worldwide via XL Recordings today. Listen here.
‘Gem Lingo (ovr now) feat. Ruthven’ needs little introduction. Since the first play during Overmono’s @TheLotRadio set with Fred Again… and Lil Yachty to celebrate the release of the collaborative single ‘stayinit’, ‘Gem Lingo’ captivated fans. It’s racked up an impressive 300k+ views via multiple YouTube and SoundCloud rips, with one fan declaring it’s “everything I needed”. The soulful vocal hook, sampled from Ruthven’s acclaimed 2018 single ‘Hypothalamus’, echoes across Overmono’s deft productions to create a single that’s sours, day or night.
‘Gem Lingo (ovr now) feat. Ruthven’ follows the release of Overmono’s highly sought-after version of The Streets ‘Turn The Page’ (“a techno remix for a new generation” – The Times). Since then, the duo have had an active Summer. Last month, they worked with in-demand designer Matthew Williams to curate the 1017 ALYX 9SM launch for Paris Fashion Week, marking their second collaboration since the 2023 Givenchy Fall/Winter show.
Overmono announced and immediately sold out two all-day events – Pure Devotion and Manchester’s Warehouse Project – as part of their 2024 Pure Devotion World Tour which sees the band perform their biggest headline shows in Brooklyn, Toronto, London, Osaka, and Tokyo. All the while, they continue to perform at some of the best festivals across the globe with forthcoming appearances at Reading & Leeds, Melt!, Roskilde, Sziget, HARD Summer, and more.
One year after their critically acclaimed debut album Good Lies (hailed by The Guardian as “UK rave history distilled to perfection”), Overmono continues to defy expectations and re-shape the landscape of electronic music, solidifying their status as “the UK’s next massive dance duo” (The Face).
