Beginning as a lo-fi project, Metronomy have quickly grown to become one of the most revered and creative acts mixing electronics with rock music, and have seen great success follow the release of four albums, with the third ‘English Riviera’ being nominated for the Mercury Music Prize.

It’s been a busy six months since the release of ‘Love Letters’, their fourth album. With their stunning stage production stepping up a notch, and their personal style looking more and more like entertainers in the truest sense of the word (the foursome give a nod to American vocal groups of the 60s and 70s in matching stage suits and Repetto shoes), Metronomy mean business.

Metronomy played two heroic sets at Glastonbury 2014. On Thursday they played an intimate secret show at the William’s Green tent – one of just two acts playing live that night. The room was packed, the atmosphere was electric with sweat dripping off the ceiling and everyone there knew they had just witnessed one of the most special and intimate moments that Glastonbury is reputed for. Then came Friday night; Metronomy stepped up to headline The Park stage, where a massive crowd had assembled – Joe Mount and co rightfully owned the stage and the crowds danced and sang along to the back of the field. Just imagine how incredible that same atmosphere will be at Albert Hall this December!
