Metronomy
Joseph Mount's band makes wry, tidy synth-pop with basslines that wander and choruses that stick, from bedroom electronics to sun-bleached Riviera songs.

About Metronomy
Metronomy began as Joseph Mount's home-recording project in Totnes, Devon, before becoming a London-based band. The early records, Pip Paine (Pay The £5000 You Owe) and Nights Out, are fidgety electronic pop built on cheap synths and odd rhythms. The English Riviera brought in a full band sound and songs such as 'The Look' and 'The Bay', and drew a Mercury Prize nomination.
Later albums including Love Letters, Metronomy Forever and Small World kept shifting between analogue soul pastiche, club tracks and quieter guitar songs. Oscar Cash has played alongside Mount for much of the band's history, and the live show leans on matching outfits and tight, rehearsed arrangements.
