NEW ALBUM NEW MEDICINE VIA LAST GANG RECORDS OUT NOW

PHYSICAL CD AND LP OF NEW MEDICINE AVAILABLE NOW

WATCH KICKS (POSITIVELY MONTAUK)

Toronto, ON – July 24, 2020 – Mondo Cozmo – the chart-topping brainchild of alternative singer-songwriter, Josh Ostrander – shares a new video for his track, Kicks (Positively Montauk), from latest album, NEW MEDICINE. Along with the release of the new video, Josh himself will be going live on Instagram today (Friday, July 24) to chat with fans, discuss the new video, the physical release of New Medicine, including CDs and vinyl, and play some songs as well. New Medicine is available on all streaming platforms and now physically available on CD and LP.

The video for Kicks (Positively Montauk) cost zero dollars to make, primarily made on Josh’s phone with an app to create animated graphics and comprised of parts shot by each musician individually during quarantine. “There are some [Bob] Dylan Easter eggs in the song and video; the ‘positively’ in the title was a lift from one of his tunes, the female I reference in the song is ‘Sweet Marie’, also a Dylan tune. I asked Drew to write Love Bomb on his chest for the video, when Dylan performed at the 98 Grammys a protestor stormed the stage with ‘Soy Bomb’ written on his chest,” shares Josh.

Mondo Cozmo’s latest album, NEW MEDICINE features highlights, Come On, Black Cadillac, and Generator, which was recently featured on ABC’s hit drama, The Good Doctor, and his latest single Upside Down. Each video is  joined by cinematic companion videos streaming now via his official YouTube channel here.  Along with the album release, a live performance of Upside Down has been shared by the band, watch here.

ABOUT MONDO COZMO:
Known for his work as producer, singer-songwriter, and bandleader, the Philadelphia-born and Los Angeles-based Ostrander unveiled Mondo Cozmo in 2017 and immediately proved a sensation with the project’s ecstatic debut single, Shine. The track fast ascended to #1 on Triple A charts nationwide, instantly propelling Mondo Cozmo into the pop spotlight. Tours alongside such like-minded artists as Bastille, Spoon, Vance Joy and The Revivalists followed, as did show-stealing performances at top festivals like Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza and a high profile network TV debut performance of Shine on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! (streaming here).

PLASTIC SOUL arrived that same year and was greeted by worldwide critical acclaim, withThe Guardian hailing the collection in a four-starred rave as “wonderfully infectious, with echoes of Spiritualized (the euphoric ‘Shine’), Bob Dylan’s vocal delivery (most notably on ‘Hold On To Me’) and ACHTUNG BABY-era U2 (‘Higher’), all while retaining a strong thread of individuality. Throughout, there’s a maximalist joy at play, ideas tumbling over one another, reaching their apotheosis on the bombastic and emotionally draining ‘Thunder.’”“An endearing listen with a strikingly eclectic production,” declared CLASH. “Ostrander delivers off-kilter pop bursting with colour.” Perhaps The Independent said it best: “There's a pure energy that courses through the record…PLASTIC SOUL is superb.”
