UK dance duo Overmono have announced their second album, Pure Devotion , which will be out August 7 via XL. It features contributions from John Joseph Holt, Kindora, Ruthven, and Rock Floyd.

Brothers Tom and Ed Russell say, “With this album we wanted to try to make something that captured the physical space of our studios. Setting up loads of ways of processing, recording, re amping sounds…. ‘The vocal isn’t sitting quite right? Let’s track it through an old tannoy speaker in the basement. That synth needs to twang harder? Let’s play it through an old train station announcement speaker from the 1930s.’ We ran tape over magnets, blew up some speakers and finally utilised that dirt cheap overclocked FX unit we snaffled years ago in Bromley. We even oven baked a cymbal covered in coffee grounds, crisps and vinegar – thank you Sylvia Massy for that one.”

The first single from the album is “Lockup,” which they say was inspired in part by Simon Reynolds’ post-punk chronicle Rip It Up and Start Again . It doesn’t sound post-punk but it is a banger — listen below.

Overmono are on the festival circuit this spring and summer, including California’s Lightning in a Bottle and Detroit’s Movement which are both in May. All dates are listed below.
