Biografie van de kunstenaar Metronomy

Metronomy Is An Electropop Group Which Formed In 1999 In Totnes Devon United Kingdom Originally As The Solo Project Of Joseph Mount. The Project Later Expanded Into A Full Band Which Currently Consists Of Joseph Mount Vocals Keyboards Guitar Oscar Cash Keyboards Saxophone Vocals Gbenga Adelekan Bass Vocals And Anna Prior Drums Vocals . The Band Has Released Five Albums "Pip Paine Pay The £5000 You Owe " 2006 "Nights Out" 2008 "The English Riviera" 2011 "Love Letters" 2014 And "Summer 08" 2016 . Metronomy Began In The Tiny Bohemian Market Town Of Totnes Devon When Joseph’s Dad Sold His Son A Computer So He Could Sit In His Bedroom And Make Electronic Music. He Was Inspired By The Likes Of Autechre LFO And Aphex Twin More As A Creative Hobby Than A Pop Masterplan. After Decamping To Brighton For Uni Metronomy Released Their Debut Album In June 2006. It Was Called Pip Paine Pay The £5000 You Owe And Its Obtuse But Fascinating Largely Instrumental Electro-Pop Reflected The Eccentricity Of Its Title And The Enduring Influence Of Totnes. Joseph Admits That He Only Finally Saw The Commercial Possibilities Of Metronomy When DJ Producer Trash Founder And Electro-Punk Avatar Erol Alkan Began To Feature The Single You Could Easily Have Me In His Sets And Asked Metronomy To Play At His Club. Cue The Need For A Proper Live Show And The Additions Of Gabriel Stebbing Oscar Cash Dance Routines And Clothes That Blink. Move On 2 Years And Nights Out A Wonky Love-Child Of Giorgio Moroder New Order Pet Shop Boys And Unfinished Sympathy Is A Second Album That Feels Like A Debut. The First To Be Vocal-Led With The Self-Effacing Joseph Stepping Up And Grabbing The Mic For Most Of The Tracks And Crucially The First To Introduce Metronomy As A Fully Live Propsition Rather Than A Pseudonym For Joseph‘s Solo Work. As Metronomy’s Busy Touring Schedule Built A Buzz Amongst Kids Who Instinctively Get The Dance/art Crossover In April 2009 The Metronomy Show Took Another Leap In Its Evolution With The Addition For The First Time Of A Live Drummer In Anna Prior And Bassist Gbenga Adelekan. The New Metronomy Was Completely Live Proving It Is Possible For Electronic Bands To Put On Show As Authentic As Any Rock Band. Meanwhile Joseph Has Embarked On A Series Of Prestigious Remixes For The Likes Of Klaxons Franz Ferdinand Gorillaz And Collaborations With Kate Nash And Florence And The Machine. Metronomy Produced Part Of The Highly Acclaimed Roots Manuva Album Slime And Reason.

Asked About The Song’s “traditional Seaside Sound” Joseph Mount Told Gigwise “I Was Aware Of Playing That Jaunty Organ Sound So I Know People Would Connect The Two And It Became A Tip Of The Hat Of Sorts Towards The Idea. We Travel To Different Countries And People Have An Attitude Towards The Seaside That’s Very English In That They Consider Those Towns To Be Quite Depressing Old Resorts So I Think I Was Trying To Reflect That And Turn It On Its Head A Bit.”
