Today Mondo Cozmo has returned with a vengeance with a new EP whose name you can’t say on the radio or TV. The critically acclaimed Philly-born and Los Angeles-based mohawked rock ‘n’ roll prophet has released Your Motherfucker EP today June 29 via Republic Records.
The EP follows up Mondo Cozmo’s critically acclaimed 2017 full-length debut, Plastic Soul—which housed the hits “Shine,” “Hold On To Me,” and “Automatic.” It saw him perform across the country to sold out shows and even made his television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
The four-track EP shows an elevated sound for Mondo Cozmo. “Tonight Tonight” (produced by John Hill (Portugal The Man), kicks off with rustling guitar that pick up into an infectious percussion. Soon, his voice takes hold, spinning a cinematic scene about “city boy blues” and “suicide queens” before the festival-ready chant, “Tonight, tonight, tonight.” Elsewhere on the EP, “Your Motherfucker” sounds like the bastard child of LCD Soundsystem and Jeff Buckley, marrying glitchy dancefloor beats and evocative lyricism.
Your Motherfucker EP comes right in the middle of his tour with Vance Joy. The sold-out dates have run across the country and continue into mid-July- see full tour dates below.
