The new Metronomy LP ‘Summer 08‘ is being assisted by Mr. Oizo and a video for ‘Night Owl‘.
Quentin Dupieux, the scourge of late nineties music television with ‘Flat Beat‘, has said of the promo: “I’m not saying I’m a master, but this video is a masterpiece.”
Live4ever reviewed the ‘Summer 08’ album earlier this month, and found a record somewhat at odds with its listener.
“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,” it concludes.
“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.”
