Metronomy - The English Riviera

   England’s brightest electro-pop band Metronomy will release their forthcoming new album The English Riviera on 11th of April on Because Music.

   Originally a solo project for producer Joseph Mount, Metronomy now operate as a four piece with Anna Prior on drums, Gbenga Adelekan on bass, original member Oscar Cash on keys/sax, and Joseph Mount on vocals, keys and guitar.).

   The English Riviera – is a brilliantly gloomy slice of twisted electro-pop, all creepy and weird synth grumbles.
   "We've been recording a new album which is pretty much done," bassist Gbenga Adelekan told Australia’s Triple J, while the band tour the country.. "Some of it is like Daft Punk meets The Eagles if you can believe that. Some of it is even weirder, more electronic. Some of it is almost like stuff from the first Metronomy album, very weird electronica. And then there's some really cool pop music on there as well."
"We've gotten a really good response to the new songs we've played," he added. "It's going to be a lot of fun to play live."
 This is the first single called "She Wants" which is more mellow than we are used to, but listen to their album, you will not miss the great big slice of their eccentric talent to make perfectly wider view on what they can give more in electro bizarre world.
The song feels very 80s with the mid-tempo rhythm, the use of sequenced drums and synth and the guitar feeling slightly chorus-ed.

Metronomy - Nights Out

Let me introduce you to Metronomy


  
   It's an electronic music group from Devon, England. 
  Their music consists of instrumental electronic music and more recently, with the release of Nights Out, vocal electronic pop music. 






Maroussia Rebecq, founder of Parisian fashion line Andrea Crews Collective, knows just how to upcycle unwanted garbs and make them into eccentric new art pieces. Her works have been seen on such artists as Santigold, Yelle, Olivia of The Do, and Metronomy.


 
  They always make me smile with their fascinate rhythm and amazing sense of experimenting with music instruments. I like their spontacity, curiosity and large potential in creating something new and never yet played.
