17. Overmono — Lockup
Overmono are the brothers Tom and Ed Russell, also known individually as Truss and Tessela. Based in the UK, they've been central to the experimental electronic scene for over a decade. Good Lies (2023, XL Recordings) was their debut album. "Lockup" is the first single from Pure Devotion, their second album, due August 7 via XL. The track was reportedly shaped in part by Simon Reynolds' post-punk chronicle Rip It Up and Start Again, channelling that restlessness into a hard-hitting dance cut built on warped textures and blown-out electronics. One of four Daily Music Report tracks.
Placement: Closes Segment 5 as its highest-energy point. 130 BPM, the electronic run's peak. Placed here rather than adjacent to other DMR tracks.
