Metronomy is an electronic music group formed by Joseph Mount in Totnes, Devon, England in 1999. The current band consists of Joseph Mount, Anna Prior, Oscar Cash and Gbenga Adelekan.
Thus far they've released two albums, Pip Paine (Pay The £5000 You Owe) and Nights Out . Mount also releases remixes under the name Metronomy, and has remixed many artists including Gorillaz, Franz Ferdinand, Klaxons, Goldfrapp and Lykke Li.
Although formed in England, Metronomy's melancholic electronica clearly shows a fascination with continental Europe, and their songs confront romance and misery on life's existential dancefloor. Their older material sounds a bit quaint but songs from the forthcoming album The English Riviera (due out April 2011) seem to be more accessible. She Wants sounds like a 2011 take on the Cure's early material, while new single The Look is electro-pop built around an instantly catchy Human League-style synth riff.
