Metronomy - My Heart Rate Rapid

OVERVIEW: With their upcoming second album, ‘Nights Out’, Metronomy have sure enough crafted a future electro-pop classic. The first single to be lifted from the LP is a flawless representation of some of the freakishly danceable tracks contained therein. A wholly original mash-up of electronics, ‘My Heart Rate Rapid’ is sheer falsetto-laden, drum-battering brilliance. Metronomy are led by the self-effacing Joseph Mount (founder member and the band’s chief songwriter) who steps up and grabs the mic for most of the tracks on the album. The new album will be the to introduce Metronomy as a three-piece band, rather than a pseudonym for Joseph‘s solo work. In the mean time, after completing a hardcore touring schedule just before Christmas - having toured more or less back-to-back with the likes of Kate Nash, CSS, Foals and Bloc Party - Metronomy readied themselves for their first full headlining tour in Feb/March. In the past year, the band’s live show has come to be something of a speciality, asserting them as a serious, seriously good, live band. With the helping hand of their occasional dance troupe and now trademark light show, and with an arsenal of electro-pop belters now at their fingertips, Metronomy’s game has most certainly been upped.
