CHECK OUT PLASTIC SOUL & VIDEO FOR “AUTOMATIC” BELOW
"'Automatic' stands as Mondo Cozmo’s most energetic, electronic piece yet.” – Billboard
“Mondo Cozmo is one of the most promising artists in the Los Angeles music scene at the moment” – NPR
”Mondo Cozmo The Best Of What’s Next” – Paste
“(Mondo Cozmo) One of the 10 Best Performances at Governors Ball” – Consequence of Sound
“Plastic Soul is one of the best debuts of 2017.” – Diandra Reviews It All
“If you're not able to catch U2 at Bonnaroo this year, you might want to consider catching Mondo Cozmo. The artist's latest single "Automatic" sounds like what you'd get if you mixed Jagwar Ma's groovy beats with Bono's anthemic, hopeful melodies.” - Baeble
NEW YORK, NY (August 4, 2017) — After nearly a year of all kinds of crazy shit that led to him becoming “The Best New Rock Act of 2017,” Mondo Cozmo (who named his music after his dog) unleashes his full-length debut, Plastic Soul today via [Republic Records].

Mondo Cozmo want to share some candid reasons why you should check out Plastic Soul in his words…
6 REASONS TO EFF WITH PLASTIC SOUL
THE MUSIC #1AAA hit “Shine,” “Automatic,” “Higher” (video w/Paz de La Huerta), and “Hold On To Me” (video w/Anna Faris), and “Plastic Soul”–ALL ON 1 RECORD
PLASTIC SOUL CAME FROM A REAL PLACE, AND HE DRUNKENLY SPILLED THE DIRT WHEN HE WAS THE LEAD GUEST ON ANNA FARIS’S “ANNA FARIS IS UNQUALIFIED” PODCAST. (CHECK OUT THE EPISODE HERE).
“I poured my heart into this, because I really had no other options. This was all I could do. I was digging holes. I was pretty drunk when I did Anna’s fucking podcast. You can’t tell, thank God. I described the desperation I was in and where I was when I wrote these songs. To sit here and be so proud I went through all this fucking bullshit to come up with these songs, it was so worth it.”
HE PERSONALLY CHOREOGRAPHED AND MADE A “DANCE” VIDEO FOR HIS NEW SINGLE “AUTOMATIC” WATCH HERE
“Everybody laughed at me. I wanted to do a dance video though. I asked, ‘If Joe Strummer were alive, what would his dance video fucking look like?’ That’s what we did, man. It turned out fucking beautiful. It was so pro, but cool.”
HE DESTROYED GOVERNORS BALL, BONNAROO, SHAKY KNEES, BOSTON CALLING, & HANGOUT FESTIVAL AND HAS A HEADLINE TOUR THIS FALL. SEE TOUR DATES AND SELECT DATES WITH SPOON HERE
ITS MORE THAN MUSIC, AS MONDO SAYS, “THERE’S A STORY…”
“…I did the band thing for years…didn’t work out. I was digging ditches, and I write this song. Chris Pratt tells me not to sign a deal. Anna Faris is in my video. I don’t listen to Pratt and sign to Republic. Then, I post videos I’m not supposed to post and release songs illegallythat become radio successes (a.k.a the song “Plastic Soul”). It’s a feel-good story. I’m fucking 37, and I’m doing what I’m doing. I shouldn’t be, but it’s happening..”
IT’S PROOF DREAMS COME TRUE
“I fought this battle for fifteen years and finally wrote ‘Shine’ after I quit my previous band. The fact I’m here playing shows and have a record out is a testament not to give up. Don’t give up on what you believe in or your passion is.”
Mondo Cozmo
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 hasn’t wasted any time positioning himself as the top contender for the BEST NEW ROCK ACT OF 2017. His #1 AAA single “Shine” has been resonating across the globe as a message of hope in today’s troubled times and recently made his TV debut Jimmy Kimmel Live! His newest single “Automatic” has been a fan favorite during festival season and soon to stadium anthem that features a drum sample of his label head playing drums). In addition to “Shine” & “Automatic” he has released iconic music videos for his songs “Hold On To Me” featuring Anna Faris, “Higher” featuring Paz de La Huerta (Enter The Void, A Walk to Remember), and “Sixes and Sevens,” featuring… well Mondo Cozmo and his manager getting drunk in Mexico. Be on the lookout for Mondo Cozmo’s debut album Plastic Soul coming in 2017.
