The tour also follows the release of the band’s seventh studio album “Small World” — a nine track project including singles ‘It’s good to be back‘ and ‘Things will be fine‘ — out now via Because Music.
“Small World” sees Metronomy return to simple pleasures and embrace more pared-down, songwriterly sonics, while asking broader existential questions: which feels at least somewhat rooted in the period of time during which it was made – 2020. Finding appreciation in nature and our roots, while reappraising the things we value as we get older, are all things that are part and parcel of the human experience: though it has all felt accelerated and emphasised over the past two years or so. Through the tumultuous ebb and flow of the years, Metronomy continues to endure, and Joe Mount’s ability as a songwriter, arranger and producer shines through on “Small World”, evergreen.
Metronomy – Small World
Life and Death
Things will be fine
It’s good to be back
Loneliness on the run
Love Factory
I lost my mind
Right on time
Hold me tonight
I have seen enough
