John is joined by Ed and Tom of Overmono to talk about how they wrote, recorded and produced the album ‘Pure Devotion’.Overmono are Welsh electronic duo Tom and Ed Russell. After solo careers as Truss and Tessela, they began producing together as Overmono in 2015. Known for their energetic, acclaimed live shows, they broke through with Good Lies in 2023. Their second album, Pure Devotion, arrived in 2026, exploring experimental studio recording. Sitting down at Strongroom Studios in London, Ed and Tom give John a step by step breakdown of their approach to vocal processing, discuss the plug-ins they use for layering synths, get into their unique approach to writing and sequencing drum patterns and reveal why their mix bus would make most audio engineers' heads spin! Plus they answer our Patreons' questions!Tracks discussed: Ballad, Barum, Knight in Shining PradaLISTEN to ‘Pure Devotion’ - XL RecordingsTAPE ITThanks to our friends at Tape It for supporting the podcast.Visit tape.it/tapenotes or use the promo code TAPENOTES in the app to get 20% off.Try the new Tape It Denoiser  currently 50% off!MUSIVERSALSkip the waitlist and get your discount HERERecorded at Strongroom Studios - https://www.strongroom.com/ LINKS TO EVERYTHING TAPE NOTES  linktr.ee/tapenotes Intro Music - Sunshine Buddy, Laurel Collective - https://lynkify.in/song/sunshine-buddy/YT47TLFI GEAR MENTIONSSoundToys Little Alter BoySoundToys MicroshiftSoundToys RadiatorAcustica Audio Ruby 3Antares AutotuneWaves CLA VocalsLiquid Sonics Cinematic RoomsFabFilter Pro L2  FabFilter Pro-Q4Audio Punks Great British SpringMaag EQ4Soundtheory Gullfoss Oek Sound Soothe 2TAL ChorusUAD Ampex Tape SimulatorUAD 1176PSP VintageWarmer2 Waves L2Waves MV2Arturia Pre 1973Kush ClariphonicDiamond CutAccess Virus TI API 2500Black Corporation Deckard's Dream MKIID.W.
