Our Take

Metronomy's "The English Riviera" is a whimsical journey through the idyllic landscapes of the British coastlines, set to a soundtrack of infectious electro-pop beats. Joseph Mount and his band of merry musicians have crafted a sonic love letter to the seaside, blending nostalgia with modernity in a delightful mix.

From the opening track "The Bay," with its bouncy bassline and shimmering synths, to the dreamy vibes of "Everything Goes My Way," this album is a sonic paradise that transports you to a sunny day by the sea. The playful lyrics and quirky melodies are a signature of Metronomy's style, with tracks like "The Look" and "She Wants" showcasing their ability to hook you in with catchy hooks and infectious rhythms.

Mount's vocals are as smooth as a freshly shucked oyster, gliding effortlessly over the shimmering production like a seagull coasting on a gentle breeze. The album's production is crisp and clean, with a retro-futuristic edge that sets it apart from the usual indie-pop fare.

Overall, "The English Riviera" is a delightful romp through Metronomy's musical playground, with each track offering something new and exciting to discover. So grab your bucket and spade, slather on some sunscreen, and let Metronomy take you on a whimsical trip to the English Riviera. You won't regret it.
