Mondo Cozmo Drops Single “Killing Floor” And US Tour Dates
Mondo Cozmo released a slow-burn, indie rock epic single titled “Killing Floor” which will be featured on It’s PRINCIPLE!, his new rock album. The full project will be released on August 30th through Last Gang Records. This first release from the album is just a taste of what is to come at the end of this month. Cozmo shared a sincere statement about the “Killing Floor” release, revealing his wife is the inspiration behind his unique choice of lyrics. “My wife was the singer of a band– which inspired the line ‘She was a singer in a punk band when she came for me,'” Mondo stated, adding, “There’s a poem in one of my dumb books by David Henderson depicting a funeral procession for a dead playwright. In the second verse he wrote ‘They scatter your ashes all over the lower east side.’ She underlined this passage in red and wrote ‘Scatter me on the lower east side.’ So I added in the 2nd verse – ‘I remember when you said scatter me across the streets, on the low east of mansions and time machines.’ This thinking led me to add the ‘everybody dies on the killing floor’ line in the chorus.” The singer added a personal touch to the single, making it even more special for his upcoming album, giving the project a distinctive message.
Making of The Album And Upcoming Tour:
Throughout the creative process for It’s PRINCIPLE! Mondo Cozmo knew that he needed to make a record that he was hyper-focused on. Fortunately, the singer had a sudden creative spark. He wrote 70 songs including the title track “It’s PRINCIPLE!” which is built around an abstract and compelling lyric, “So I’m slashing tires on Main Street America.” The song almost didn’t make the cut, but the singer decided to trust the opinions of those around him whom he respected. With that creative miracle unveiling itself rather swiftly, Cozmo also announced his upcoming fall US tour. He will perform at New York’s Brooklyn Made, Philadelphia’s Underground Arts, Chicago’s Schubas Tavern, Asbury Park’s Wonder Bar, and more! Tickets will be on sale this Friday, August 9 at 10 a.m. ET. Fans should set their alarms to make sure not to miss out on the cosmic experience of the up-and-coming artist!
