Metronomy
Nights Out
Metronomy's debut album was a glorious collection of electronic mini masterpieces. Would Joseph Mount be able to improve on it? Or would Metronomy fade out quicker than an old glo stick? Naysayers will be sufficiently silenced after hearing Nights Out. The brooding instrumentals have now given way to fully-fledged, lyrically enhanced, pop songs. The most important thing is that this doesn't feel forced, Nights Out feels like a natural progression. While Mount's lyrics may not win an Ivor Novello, the songs now have an added depth. This coupled with sounds robbed from manga soundtracks and a new found love of the disco bass line make this one of 2008's most pleasing follow ups.
