Love Letters
On Metronomy's new Love Letters, songwriter Joseph Mount arrives with another rearview glance at pop and rock history, aging backwards into a gray space between late psych and early glam.
Where The English Riviera was a love letter to British seasides, Love Letters is, well, you can guess. The titular track, with a female chorus cooing ‘lo-oove letters’ like The Supremes, has Joe Mount – the hopeless romantic – admitting defeat: ‘You’ve got me writing love letters.’
Under the direction of frontman and lead songwriter Joseph Mount, the last few years have seen Metronomy hone themselves into Britain's most unique and forward-thinking pop group.
Album review: Metronomy - 'Love Letters'. "The radical variation on this album speaks volumes, representing Joseph Mount at his most inventive."
The follow-up to 2011's The English Riviera is a frustrating mix of the sublime and the obtuse, writes <strong>Kitty Empire</strong>
