Metronomy-The English Riviera
I've just been brought to a new, beautiful place thanks to Joe Mount an Co. A place, where England is the place where Stella ads are made. A place where England is beautiful. A place where Torbay is paradise. Yet again I've been listening to The English Riviera. In my opinion, the album of 2011. The album begins with 37 seconds of seagulls backed by bass and synthesiser. Almost instantly you leave your daily life and are whisked off to the seaside. This short intro perfectly draws you in, so much so that you are hooked.
And as the brief introduction moves on to We Broke Free, a song in which Mount’s falsetto tones wrap around you and don’t let go-until Everything Goes My Way, a beautiful song in which Joe and Veornica Falls singer Roxanne Clifford duet, complimenting each other perfectly.
The Look is next, and the track seems to have nominated itself for the summers anthem, with its organ melody with is both addictive and catchy. Following on from this is the slow and mysterious She Wants, a track which I rate as one of the albums best. But next up is The Bay, a track which brings us back to the old Metronomy, a Nights Out type song, and which will undoubtedly find itself on the minds of campers as they holiday in realistic rainy Torbay. The next notable track is Love Underlined, a bassy track with an edge.
I believe that is track is worthy of the ultimate 10/10. Well done Metronomy.
