Metronomy - Digital
Metronomy are shaping up to be one of Brighton’s finest musical exports in recent years. With home hewn records, inspired DIY videos and now a delightfully quirky stylised stage show – think Devo, a lo-fi Kraftwerk or Hot Chip if they could only crack a smile – their growing popularity’s proof that a little flair and plenty of talent can go a heck of a lot further than major label dollar.
Their sound will be familiar to anyone who’s been inside a young person’s nightclub in the last 3 years but there’s none of contemporary electro’s vacuous sensibilities here; just oodles of quality songwriting and tunes crammed with ace ideas like barmy, polka inspired synth lines, crisp R’n’B-esque micro melodies and lashings of party funk falsetto.
Monday’s never a great night for raving but Metronomy quickly won over a sluggish crowd with a witty, inventive and mischievous performance bolstered by some hilarious three man choreography.
