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.

Praise for Overmono
“it’s exactly this level of commitment to detail and adventure that makes Pure Devotion such a triumph.”
– ROLLING STONE UK
“More books will be read, samples discovered, instruments tampered with and deeply human creativity unlocked. It’s this insatiable, childlike appetite for discovery and music-making that sets Overmono apart and gives their sound its soul.”
