The first ever public available vinyl edition of Pip Paine (Pay The £5000 You Owe), the first album by Metronomy. Initially released in 2006, this album was a collector edition limited to 2500 units and thereafter released only once for Record Store Day in 2013. This Album initiated the Metronomy buzz thanks to the tracks "You Could Easily Have Me" and "Tricks or Treats". This new version includes four bonus tracks: "Are Mums Mates", "Hear To Wear", "Another Me To Mother You" and the unreleased track "In The D.O.D." Original packaging, gatefold, double vinyl, with a CD included. It's a very deluxe and unique edition.

Entirely written, played and produced by Metronomy himself, Summer 08 finds the multi-instrumentalist reflecting on his experiences around the time that Metronomy first landed a major breakthrough with Nights Out (BEC 5772370/5772393, 2008) -- the guilt of missing key moments in loved ones' lives and the confused mania of finding himself a critical darling. It's a concept that's been gestating ever since, but the opportunities and challenges that resulted in the expansive, ambitious and Mercury Prize-nominated The English Riviera (BEC 5772894, 2011) and the Motown-inspired Love Letters (BEC 5161817/5161823, 2014) understandably took precedence. "I wanted to make another record with the naivety of Nights Out: ten tracks, straight up, upbeat. Write another banger, then another, and don't really think about it." Summer 08 is a mature, eclectic pop record in the vein of OutKast, David Bowie and Daft Punk. Recorded in Black Box Studios in France with mixing courtesy of Bob Clearmountain (Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie) and Neal Pogue (OutKast), it's the most daring and creative Metronomy album. The album's first single "Old Skool" is a cowbell-clattered cocaine pop belter that glimpses '00s London from the backseat of an Addison Lee. It descends into a chaotic scratch frenzy courtesy of Beastie Boys' turntablist and Mount's childhood hero Mix Master Mike. As for the lyrics: "I was living in East London in 2008 and felt like all this stuff was happening in the West end. It's nonsense really, but I felt it was this privileged end of town, all the musicians there had wealthy parents and were living in Ladbroke Grove and Notting Hill. So that song's about being totally idiotic and just jealous." "Night Owl" is even more immediate as its disco-groove - at once laidback, then nervously on edge - captures the ambience of a downbeat soul lost in the nocturnal summer swelter of the capital. Elsewhere, there's warbling festival anthem-in-the-making "Miami Logic", which sounds like "Word Up" as performed by Devo; an early East-Coast hip-hop rough ride called "16 Beat" about a love affair between man and drum machine; and a brilliant moment of Bowie worship titled "Mick Slow". It's the album's duet with Swedish superstar Robyn, "Hang Me Out To Dry", mixed by Erol Alkan, that's the songwriter's favorite though.

Limited LP edition of Metronomy's 2008 album Nights Out (BEC 5772393); includes CD. Edition of 400; not to be repressed. Nights Out is Metronomy's first vocal-led album, with self-effacing founding member Joseph Mount stepping up and grabbing the mic for most of the tracks. It's also the first to album introduce Metronomy as a three-piece band, rather than a pseudonym for Mount's solo work. Although Mount has worked with Gabriel Stebbing (bass, keyboards) and Oscar Cash (sax, keyboards) since their childhoods in Devon, England, it was the success of the trio's live shows that led to the realization that the three friends are a bona fide group. Nights Out resolutely ignores the vogue for yelping in a provincial accent about mingers and kebabs, and taps into a more elegant, enduring, and truthful pop mood -- that feeling of being at your most lost and alone when crushed into a room full of revelers high on drugs and desperation. Musically, Metronomy march to the beat of their own synthetic drum. But Mount's experiences of touring the nightclubs of the world, finishing his set, and then feeling unable to join in the surrounding debauchery makes Nights Out the wonky love-child of Giorgio Moroder, New Order, Pet Shop Boys, and "Unfinished Sympathy." Indeed, "On Dancefloors" might be the saddest song about partying ever made. Because Music 10th Anniversary Vinyl Campaign. Limited (400 copies) 10-year edition with CD -- new catalog number and EAN. Will be deleted and back to the regular edition after campaign ends.

2021 repress; second deluxe edition of Metronomy's highly-anticipated fourth album; still includes the CD, with a multi-level embossed jacket and printed inner sleeve; no longer has a gatefold sleeve or poster or 180 gram vinyl. On Love Letters, Joseph Mount has tried to do fresh things in an old-fashioned way, using richer methods of recording and injecting them with tight electronics and experiments in sound. Instead of constructing his music on computers, he used classic, slower techniques that forced him to take his time in the best possible sense. By recording onto tape, he was also forced to think about his music more purely, constructing it with more finesse. Melancholy still lurks in these hooks; loneliness still gleams along their edges. These are songs that carry you up and down in tides of feeling, in waves of pure sound. They also inject modern situations with timeless sentiments. "The Upsetter" is about having no reception when you want to send a message to someone special, for instance, and about the memory of listening to music when you were young. "Monstrous" is about holding on tight to everything you love, in a world you don't understand. "Reservoir" is about a place near where Mount's parents live, where glittering keyboards mimic "heartbeats drifting together." "Month of Sundays" shimmers its emotions through bright, shining guitars. All show the warmth, richness and depth being added to the Metronomy sound. New musical spirits inhabit this album, too. "I'm Aquarius" was inspired by Diana Ross and The Supremes' 1969 album, Let the Sunshine In, full of psychedelic atmospheres and gorgeous backing vocal shoop-shoops. Mount nearly left the song behind because he thought it didn't sound like him, before he realized his style was naturally growing and changing. This was also the time to start having new adventures, he quickly realized. "Boy Racers" came next, the spoken-word song he'd always wanted to write (but then ditched the spoken-word part because "it didn't sound very good"). Then came "Call Me," driven by glittering organ lines, and the exhilarating title-track, with a four-to-the-floor beat, skipping between Motown and Northern Soul. These songs go places Metronomy have never been before, and they do so spectacularly, all on a record where old friends take our hands, and lead us somewhere new. Love Letters is a classic electronic pop album which sends its message straight to your heart.

Remixes by Prins Thomas and Gerry Read. Taken and inspired from Metronomy's third critically-acclaimed and Mercury-nominated album The English Riviera (BEC 5772894), a gorgeous record full of languid, sunset funk songs, ending up in the Top 5s of many end-of 2011 lists, and notably #2 in NME's albums of the year. The remixes of "Loving Arm" and "We Broke Free" offer a refreshing, alternate spin on the tracks intended for specialist DJs pressed as a white label.

2023 repress. Metronomy present their third album The English Riviera. The follow up to 2008's critically-acclaimed Nights Out, The English Riviera is a sonic progression of epic proportions and affirms Metronomy front man and producer, Joseph Mount, as a rare British talent. Since Nights Out, the band have swollen to a four-piece with new members Anna Prior on drums, Gbenga Adelekan on bass, original member Oscar Cash on keys/sax, and Joe himself on vocals, keys and guitar. This expansion of personnel is reflective of a new record that is mapped by vast soundscapes, incredible depth and warmth, and big pop hooks. Part love letter to the area of Devon coast Mount grew up in and part concept album about his own semi-fictionalized vision of The English Riviera, the tone for the album is set by the opening sounds of seagulls, distant waves and a Music Hall string quartet. However, any notion of whimsy is swiftly dispelled, as the seismic bass line of "We Broke Free" shudders and ushers in waves of layered guitars and synths. Having produced and remixed everyone from Roots Manuva to Kate Nash an album from Nicola Roberts, this is the first Metronomy album that Mount has taken out of his bedroom and recorded in a proper studio. The results are telling. Characterized throughout with a sense of warmth and richness, The English Riviera is in parts reminiscent of seminal 1970s West Coast studio albums from the likes of Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles, but due to Mount's studio wizardry, the record sounds vibrant and entirely of its time. Few other albums will so successfully transcend such a plethora of influences and ideas and form such a coherent body of work.

2008 release. The first single to be lifted from the album Nights Out LP is a flawless representation of some of the freakishly danceable tracks contained therein. A wholly original mashup of electronics, "My Heart Rate Rapid" is sheer falsetto-laden, drum-battering brilliance. Although Metronomy's elliptical, insidious, multi-colored art-pop sounds nothing like Cologne's legendary purveyors of prog-disco, Can do offer clues to the lineage the band belong to. Add early Brian Eno, Sparks, Devo, Talking Heads, Soft Cell, and then scratch your head for more recent examples of abstract music, full of experiment, risk, and individuality that somehow resolves itself into pop... that makes you sing and dance and feel like a big kid... and you realize that you can't think of any, because Metronomy are, in the current pop milieu, an utterly unique proposition.
