01/Metronomy/The English Riviera
Joseph Mount is exhausted. But he’s not quite ready to give up. He just needs to get away. A place where he can think clearly and evaluate what’s going on here, and find some peace of mind. And that destination is here, in The English Riviera, in which Joseph and company of Metronomy plead, argue, and tirelessly seek out clarity in the war of roses between a boy and a girl. The band finds that place in the music. From the opening sounds of birds chirping and waves hitting the sand, to the sonic echoes of the closing remix track, The English Rivieria is an expertly crafted, well produced LP from the English electro outfit. A more expansive, jaunty production that dips into new wave, world beats, and other tantalizing dance locales in search of a little peace of mind. A magnificently sweet escape. It feels so good.
