Metronomy, Goat Girl and Jungle are some of the new names for this year’s Reeperbahn Festival.
The event is to be held at the notorious Hamburg strip next month, and Metronomy will be attendance after releasing their most recent studio album, Summer 08, in 2016.
“Only via the cowbell ringing and faux-scratches of ‘Old Skool‘ is rip truly let however, the multi-variant creator nailing a groove which smudges Euro bonkers together with contemporary bangers, in the process hands down winning the previously underwhelmed night owls over to the dark side,” Live4ever’s review reads.
“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.”
