Songs of Embrace

Embrace The Abandon is the new project by The Mon, the solo vision of Urlo,
vocalist, bassist, and founding member of the Italian heavy-psych veterans
Ufomammut.

Structured in two complementary chapters - Songs of Abandon and Songs of Embrace  - the project tells a journey of duality: loss and surrender on one side, acceptance and rebirth on the other. Songs Of Embrace is the second chapter of “Embrace The Abandon”, expanding its emotional landscape rather than closing it. Where the first part explored abandonment and loss, Songs Of Embrace focuses on presence, proximity, and the physical act of staying. It is the answering breath, the inner voice. The album avoids resolution and comfort, embracing slowness, repetition, and bodily tension.

It is not just music, it is a stream of consciousness, an inner search, a way of
inhabiting what weighs without letting go. While Songs Of Abandon is a collection of songs, nine tracks written in nine days, Songs Of Embrace is a continuous musical flow.
It is a movement that changes, grows, erupts, slows down, settles, and rises again.
It feels like the sea: calm and still one moment, then moved by a simple breath of
wind, suddenly breaking into a storm. Songs Of Embrace was conceived more like a ritual, a work of classical music, a suite. Different parts unfolding one into the next, each a continuation of the previous one, finding meaning only as a whole. The pieces are deeply interconnected, like embraces: some bring comfort, others carry pain.
These are compositions meant to be listened to in one continuous breath, allowing
yourself to be held, rocked, and sometimes pushed away, just like in an embrace.
