Review: Overmono unleashes their debut album here on XL Recordings. This album represents a remarkable culmination of their musical journey so far with 12 compelling tracks, with brothers Tom & Ed Russell taking listeners on a captivating sonic odyssey that seamlessly blends a diverse range of electronic genres. 'Good Lies' showcases their impeccable sound design and experimental approach: from the evocative vocal-led breaks of the title track, or the glassy-eyed IDM of "Walk Thru Water" feat. St. Panther, to the infectious 2-step attitude of "Is U" and the future UK sonics of "Calling Out" - this is the sound of one of the most original contemporary live electronic acts.
Review: A celebration of sound system culture is the prevailing theme throughout London duo Overmono's new EP on XL - their seventh release thus far for the esteemed UK label. Inspired by the nostalgic feelings conjured up by old mix tapes recorded in their youth, Cash Romantic sees the Russell brothers (aka Tessela & Truss) combine elements of breakbeat, dub, garage and ambient. "After listening to some of these old tapes, we wrote this record and realised our heads are still pretty much in the same space as when we were kids."
