The U.K. duo, brothers Tom and Ed Russell, crafted the song using a voice note that Holt sent them in honor of his late brother.

“My brother Thomas Edward Holt had an incredibly adventurous soul that inspired everyone around him,” Holt wrote in an Instagram post. “He took his own life on January 10th, 2017, aged 31. There is no easy way to say that. You bury the pain deep in your heart and the words get stuck in your throat when you try to speak, as the world carries on around you… To make something so positive out of something so crushing is the greatest gift, and I can’t thank Tom, Ed and @williamaspden enough for bringing this song into existence.”

“Knight in Shining Prada” is a standout single on the duo’s upcoming album, Pure Devotion, coming out on August 7 via XL Recordings.

The Russell brothers said they worked on dozens of versions of the single before settling on one they wanted to put out.

“About a year ago he sent us a voice note with a spoken word stream of consciousness that just completely floored us,” they wrote. “We played John’s vocal as loud as we could and sat there with a prophet and 303 listening to it over and over again as the sun came up and the first version started to appear. 83 versions later and it’s done.”

Other tracks on the album including “Lockup,” “Even Angles Ghost,” and “Gem Lingo (ovr now)” have also been released and showcase some of the experimental production techniques that Overmono has adopted, including playing a synth through an old train station speaker, blowing up speakers and baking a crash cymbal in an oven.

Our curator scours through hundreds of SoundCloud tracks to find the best new gems by artists that are flying under the radar. Our Brussels-based fellow overwhelms you with a variety of songs that make your head go nuts. This week, he offers us a playlist that smells like a comeback! Here are a few of his favorites:

Femme En Fourrure – Creepers:

“Music made for DJs and catwalks; also: for nightly promenades and oceanside sexin’.” that’s how the Finnish Femme En Fourrure describe themselves. I couldn’t agree more. New album “Body Positive” is a step in a more poppy sound, but still with both feet in the experiment and deep electronica.

Dead Serpent – Eclosión:

Super unknown, that what I can say about this Chilean band. I don’t even remember how I ended up listening to the dark wavy shoegaze from what apparently is the music from a guy called Von Warloc. Mystery.

WULFFLUW XCIV & Nahshi – Latente:

Last year Wulffluw XCIV released an awesome aggressive sounding electronic EP ‘Matanza’. Fan of WWWINGS, Mechatok or KAMBLAM? Then you might take a listen to this “Latente”!

Every week, Free scours through hundreds of SoundCloud tracks to find the best new gems by artists that are flying under the radar.

Each Thursday our Brussels-based fellow overwhelms you with a variety of songs that make your head go nuts. But hey, Thursday is the new Friday! Here are a few of his favorites:

Lydia Ainsworth – What Is It?:

It feels like I’ve been waiting to hear new music from Lydia Ainsworth for ages! She had been quiet since her stunning debut “Right From Real”. (Only) Three years later, Ainsworth is back with her gothic-ish drama-theatrical pop that blows you away from the first to the last second. Please check her live when you can!

Jay Som – Baybee:

Melina Duterte aka Jay Som is the cutest (and the craziest), check this video. The Polyvinyl-signee sounds like the perfect match between Frankie Cosmos and Mitski. The guitar riddle in “Baybee” on a Monday morning is just the best. And on Tuesday too. Oh and all the other days.

Elohim – Skinny Legs:

When you miss the trash pop of Crystal Castles, you should check out Elohim! It’s more polished and Georgia-like but the dirty synths slapping you in the face could be an Ethan Kath without dopamine.

Stuff. – Galapagos:

Lander Gyselinck is one of the best Belgian musicians of recent years. With his avant-garde jazzband he’s reinventing himself and the band time after time. “Galapagos” starts with a sloppy synths allowing a funky bass to make Stuff. One of the freshest contemporary jazz music.
