Metronomy

Thanks to the witty melodies and songwriting of multi-instrumentalist and producer Joseph Mount, Metronomy is one of the most creative acts mixing electronic pop and indie rock. Drawing on influences ranging from Devo and David Bowie to N.E.R.D. and Pavement, Mount established Metronomy as an equally catchy and unpredictable act with 2006's scrappy, lo-fi Pip Paine (Pay the £5000 You Owe). The project's later albums, such as 2011's Mercury Prize-nominated The English Riviera, were smoother and more sophisticated, but still incorporated unexpected elements that ranged from the Motown and blue-eyed soul homages of 2014's Love Letters to the retro-futurism of 2019's Metronomy Forever. With the deceptively sunny pop of 2022's Small World and 2024's hip-hop-tinged collaboration with Pan Amsterdam "Nice Town," Mount kept pushing Metronomy's creative boundaries.
