Overmono collaborate with poet John Joseph Holt on ‘Knight In Shining Prada’, the emotional centrepiece of their forthcoming album ‘Pure Devotion’. The track began as a voice note in which Holt reflected on his late brother, whose adventurous personality reminded him of the close bond between Overmono’s Tom and Ed Russell.
The brothers matched his words with an electronic instrumental and reportedly worked through more than eighty versions before arriving at the final recording. Despite emerging from grief, the song focuses on love, memory and the possibility of turning devastating loss into something communal and uplifting. Holt’s spoken delivery moves naturally through Overmono’s production, avoiding the awkward feeling of poetry being added to a track after everyone else has gone home. ‘Knight In Shining Prada’ is emotionally direct but musically expansive, proving that dance music can remember the dead while still making the room feel alive.
