New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Summer is finally underway now that Mondo Cozmo has returned with brand new music… The critically acclaimed Philly-born and Los Angeles-based mohawked rock 'n' roll prophet will release his new Your Motherfucker EP on 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. That's just the half of it though. Check out the full tracklisting below!
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 at www.mondocozmo.com/tour
With this new music and a ton of touring, Mondo Cozmo is back motherfuckers…

A disciple of Eddie Vedder, Bruce Springsteen, and The Verve, thus the Philadelphia-born, Los Angeles-based Mohawk-ed and tattooed troubadour Mondo Cozmo was born. Think Dylan fronting
Oasis with Beck making the beats. Mondo Cozmo took over the rock world with his debut album Plastic Soul, which featured his #1 song "Shine." He made his television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, performed at (almost) EVERY single music festival last summer, toured with Bastille, opened for MUSE (to a crowd of over 10,000) and with Spoon. From the music industry to Hollywood - everyone has become a fan of Mondo Cozmo: Dan Reynolds from
Imagine Dragons crashed his stage in Las
Vegas and the two of them did a cover of "
Bittersweet Symphony" together, and his music videos have starred actresses Anna Faris("Hold On To Me"),and Paz de La Huerta"
Higher". He was named top festival performer at Governors Ball (Consequence of Sound & Billboard), Bonnaroo (Entertainment Weekly),
Boston Calling (Boston Music), Shakey Knees (Atlanta
Music Guide), Forecastle Festival (Courier- Journal), Austin City Limits (Consequence of Sound) and Summerfest (Milwaukee Journal- Sentinal). In response to last year's shootings in Las
Vegas he penned "The Ballad of Vegas" a moving song discussing the heartbreak of the recent violence across the country- Listen Here. In addition, he was recently selected to speak at Grammy's on the Hill in support of the
Music Modernization Act where he spoke to Congressmen and women. Be ready for more Mondo Cozmo music in 2018.
