Metronomy and Oscar Cash have joined forces for the release of a collaborative album inspired by the former’s 2019 effort Metronomy Forever.

Oscar Cash Forever was originally made available as part of the deluxe physical version of Metronomy Forever, and is now due to get a digital release for the first time on April 10th.

“In late 2018 me and my wife moved to San Francisco, there in our apartment, I set up a small music studio,” Oscar Cash recalls. “Metronomy weren’t touring at that time and other than exploring the city, all I was doing was making beats.”

“Across the Atlantic, as ‘Metronomy Forever’ began to take shape, Joe sent me a few rough tracks. To my surprise a lot of the new Metronomy keyboard lines and melodies found their way into some of the music I was making! It happened quite naturally. I sent some of the resulting tracks to Joe with the idea that they could be used as mysterious teasers in the lead up to the official release of ‘Metronomy Forever’. But Joe was very into them and challenged me to make more. He suggested I make something to accompany the album proper.”

“With an electric piano and midi saxophone I went about trying to expand all my ideas eventually turning them into tracks in their own right. Oscar Cash Forever began to take shape. ‘Oscar Cash Forever’ reminds me of the music I made in my early twenties; the same sounds that echoed from mine and Joe’s shared flat in 2003. Hopefully all the little borrowed phrases reveal themselves in new ways along the way. This jazzy and atmospheric exploration is meant to be listened to as a mixtape. It’s a companion piece to the original masterpiece; ‘Metronomy Forever’.”
