Metronomy
The English Riviera
Big Beat / Because Music
ADDS 7/5/11
DIGITAL ONLY

Brighton, UK 4-piece Metronomy have delivered their most polished effort to date. The English Riviera is an ambitious attempt to navigate the tidal swells of love and life, abjectly melancholic and passionate, celebratory of its outstanding potential to evoke polarizing feelings simultaneously. The album is marked by a notable lean toward late-nineties indie-pop aesthetics, incorporating a diverse array of percussive and melodic elements. Anchored by the lead single “The Look," the album seldom strays from deliberately danceable yet contemplative arrangements. Combined with the withdrawn harmonies of members Anna Prior, Oscar Cash, and Gbenga Adelkan, the result is a personal yet wholly involved group effort, isolated while amongst one another, each member a wayward sailboat on a glassy sea.
