Artist Spotlight #6 Metronomy! Funky Modern Electro with a dose of style

in #music • 7 years ago

Metronomy is one of the most groovy feel good bands I have ever heard. They manage to mix a very modern electro sound with retro vibes and synths and make it sound entirely fresh. If you don't know them you need to add them to your playlist! They also have an amazing style, umm look at this....

They were formed in 1999 and have since made 5 albums:

  • Pip Paine (Pay the £5000 You Owe) (2006)
  • Nights Out (2008)
  • The English Riviera (2011)
  • Love Letters (2014)
  • Summer 08 (2016)

From wikipedia

The current band consists of Joseph Mount (vocals, keyboards and guitar), Oscar Cash (saxophone, backing vocals, guitars and keyboards), Anna Prior (drums and vocals) and Gbenga Adelekan (bass guitar and vocals).

My personal favourite is The English Riviera, in particular the track called The Bay, for some reason I associate this music with summer vacations and good times:

I also urge you to check out their music videos as they also have a really interesting aesthetic, often mixing modern and retro styles that accurately reflect the music!

    I am so glad you are back to steemit. You are basically our only friend that we drag over, that do something on the platform right now... I love the 2 first Metronomy albums but I didn't like #3 and 4. I am listening this summer 08 now and I will wait a bit to know how I feel about it...

    Thanks vachemorte, the new one is pretty funky but I have to agree the earlier ones have grown on me quite a bit.
