Love Letters

2014 album from the British Electropop band. The brainchild of Devon-based singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Joseph Mount, Metronomy first scored widespread attention for their eclectic Electronica and inventive remixes of artists including Gorillaz, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Lykke Li, and Franz Ferdinand. 2011's the English Riviera saw Metronomy put together a milestone of present-day popcraft, a dazzling fusion of sunshine Psychedelia, cascading synths, languid funk, and sleek melodies, all in the service of Mount's nostalgic reveries of his native South-West England coastline. Highlighted by now-classic singles like The Look and Everythign Goes My Way the album earned placement on the 2012 Barclaycard Mercury Prize shortlist.
