Metronomy performing at the Manchester Academy on April 28th, 2022 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Metronomy continue their UK tour in Birmingham tonight.
Metronomy are another band enjoying the freedom of being out on the road right now, touring the album Small World which as the world shutdown in 2020 but which – as our review noted – Joe Mount is keen emphasise is, ‘not a lockdown record, merely one that was written in that period’:
“A rolling synth line and typically breeze-filled vocal then powers Love Factory, its eccentricity fitting like a glove for devotees of the band’s back catalogue. The subject? A couple living in the post apocalypse.”
“If this all sounds like some kind of Kurt Vonnegut novel set to music, don’t panic. Right On Time has an oddly realized but lovely Balearic groove and features a snazzy guest vocal from Porridge Radio’s Dana Margolin, whilst the crisp post punk eddies of Loneliness On The Run offer a darker form of solace.”
