Dos Monos releases advance single “QUE GI” featuring Yoshihide Otomo from new AL “Dos Atomos”

Dos Monos released their new single “QUE GI feat. Yoshihide Otomo” today, April 19th (Friday).

This work is the lead single from the new album “Dos Atomos” to be released in May. The guest artist we invited this time is who has been active in the field of free jazz and noise music such as GROUND ZERO since the 1990s, and has been featured in the 55th Shining! Japan Record Awards with his music for the TV drama series “Ama-chan.” Master Yoshihide Otomo continues to have a great influence on the Japanese music world, winning composition awards.

This album, in which Yoshihide Otomo, whom Dos Monos has always respected, participated as a turntablist, is true to Zhuangziit’s declaration of “becoming a rock band after being a hip-hop crew,” and represents the work that Dos Monos has presented up until now. The song is finished in a mixture rock style that is clearly different from the hip-hop route.

Mixing was done by The Anticipation Illicit Tsuboi, just like the previous recordings, and mastering was done by Matt Colton from the UK, who also works with Aphex Twin and Brian Eno. In addition, the cover artwork was inspired by the title and was created by GILLOCHINDOX☆GILLOCHINDAE, a contemporary artist who continues to create works focusing on “cities and youth” based on subcultures such as manga and movies. It has become a work of art.

In addition, Dos Monos will be a special guest at “Dos Atomos Release Party ~ Theater D vol.4” to be held at Ebisu LIQUIDROOM in Tokyo on Saturday, June 15th, and will share the great influence Dos Monos had on producing this album. It has also been decided that BOREDOMS frontman ∈Y∋ will appear as a DJ, and Yoshihide Otomo, who also participated in this song, will appear as a guest.
