Overmono: Good Lies (Crystal Clear Vinyl)

High expectations are still understated in the case of the British brother duo Overmono - in the last, for club music certainly anything but easy years, the Russell brothers have become something like the spearhead of the new club scene, now complete the final break out of the genre drawer and also free themselves from the insider tip stamp! May 12 sees the release of "Good Lies", their long-awaited debut album on XL Recordings, which, due to its emotional depth between beats and basses, will continue to echo through the street canyons long after the lights have gone on in the club and even the most stubborn dancer has been sent home. Whether on headphones, in the club or on the home stereo - the 13 new Overmono songs sometimes seem as if heady Jamie xx dancefloor bangers meet the bass of Mr. Oizo, only to catch moods in the next moment, enveloping the listener completely in them and then sending him back happily to the dancefloor again liberated with poppier house set pieces. It's not without reason that Overmono are already one of the UK's most celebrated newcomer acts - their first two EPs sold out in no time at all, the Russell brothers were named best live act at the prestigious DJ Mag Best of British Awards, their first headlining tour last year was followed by sold-out shows in London, LA, New York or most recently at SchwuZ in Berlin and celebrated festival appearances at Glastonbury, Dekmantel and Movement Festival! Besides that they worked on some tracks with their label mate Joy Orbison and released a "Fabric Presents" DJ mix.
