Metronomy is a British electronic band founded in 1999 by Joseph Mount. Originally a solo project for Mount, Metronomy has since grown into a full band. Their first album, Pip Paine (Pay the £5000 You Owe), was released in 2006. Their breakthrough album, The English Riviera, released in 2011, earned them critical acclaim and a nomination for the Mercury Prize. Over the years, the band’s sound has evolved from lo-fi electronica to more polished and poppy productions. They have released six albums to date, the most recent being 2019’s Metronomy Forever, which features a diverse range of styles and influences. The band is known for their quirky and playful music videos, which often feature surreal and imaginative imagery. Metronomy has also gained a reputation for their energetic live shows and have toured extensively around the world.
