Metronomy
 

Why is there no thread on these guys? Nights Out is one of my favourite albums of 08, whilst Pip Paine (Pay the £5000 You Owe) is, in my opinion, even better. Definetly one of the best British acts around at present

What do you Minx's think?

There is no thread 'cos I have never heard them. Genre? Sound?

Well Pip Paine is mostly instrumental electro. Influences include Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin and, to an extent, Talking Heads.

Nights Out is more of a mainstream album. It consists of much more accessable, conventionally structured pop songs whilst maintaining the electro of the first album.

Hope thats of more help

Pip Paine was a really good album. "Trick or Treatz" is seriously one of my favorite songs ever, for reasons I can't really explain.

I liked "My Heart Rate Rapid," but haven't really bothered to give the new album a listen yet. So much 08 stuff to catch up on already. :/

wow this is awesome stuff thx for that

Finally downloaded Nights out after about three months of smack talk from my band mate, and it is excellent. Although no one here will really care , cause electronica seems largely ignored here.......

Bump, Cairo i feel your pain, the lack of reaction to this band on here is nothing short of frustrating.

It does seem that anything electronica meets a pretty quick death on here, so it's not entirely unexpected.

Pip Paine is so good, it gets better with every listen, so subtle yet chaotic at the same time; with some of the best hooks and beats i've heard in electro.
