Three gigs in May 2017 have been announced by Metronomy to back this year’s Summer 08 album.
Across four days the band play Glasgow’s ABC venue, the Albert Hall in Manchester and London’s Brixton Academy, live outings for an album which we found to ‘engaged in something of a game of hide and seek with its listeners’:
“Absence makes the heart grow fonder they say. Perhaps too long away from his Bohemian past, Joe Mount has fallen back on it to produce – in every sense – an album which is engaged in something of a game of hide and seek with its listeners.”
“Whilst wanting to take them to a different place is to be applauded, ‘Summer 08’ needed to abandon itself more to the random or be a slave to the rhythm, both opportunities for completeness it never quite manages to take.”
