»A Pearlescent Pulse Of Light« is the final preview of »Songs Of Embrace«, the new LP by Ufomammut side project The Mon, nearing March release through Supernatural Cat Records.
The Mon is the solo vision of Urlo, vocalist/bassist of Italian heavy-psychedelic trio Ufomammut and co-founder of the internationally renowned poster art collective Malleus Rock Art Lab and the independent label Supernatural Cat. »Embrace The Abandon« is the entity’s two-album series – »Songs Of Abandon« and »Songs Of Embrace« – depicting a journey of duality: loss and surrender on one side, acceptance and rebirth on the other. Following the November 2025 release of the somber, acoustic guitar-driven »Songs Of Abandon«, its companion album »Songs Of Embrace« is now ready to be heard.

»Songs Of Embrace« is an instrumental counterpart – darker, ambient, and ritualistic – expanding the emotional landscape of the series, rather than closing it. While »Songs Of Abandon« explored abandonment and loss, this one focuses on presence, proximity, and the physical act of staying. 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. »Songs Of Embrace« is a movement that changes, grows, erupts, slows down, settles, and rises again. Like the sea, it’s calm and still one moment, then moved by a simple breath of wind, suddenly breaking into a storm. The pieces are deeply interconnected, like embraces: some bring comfort, others carry pain; 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.
»Songs Of Embrace« was written, performed, produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Urlo at The Howl, Italy, and as with all Supernatural Cat releases, completed with artwork and videos by the Malleus Rock Art Collective.
Urlo writes, “»A Pearlescent Pulse Of Light« is a small piano movement that drifts through time, listening to a beating heart before slowly fading away. Amid distant noises, it tells of a bond: a light that breathes, expands, and transforms. It is the most fragile and melancholic piece on the record. It holds a deep meaning for me, as it speaks of a creature immensely close to my heart.”
The video for The Mon’s »A Pearlescent Pulse Of Light« is now playing on YouTube RIGHT HERE.
»Songs Of Embrace« will be released March 6th, on digital platforms, digisleeve CD, and LP.
