Originally a solo project for English musician and producer Joseph Mount, Metronomy has morphed into a long-running electro-pop group known to dabble in funk, disco, yacht rock, and more.
• Mount began making music as Metronomy as a teenager in the late ’90s when his dad gave him a computer, and he began performing as a DJ while attending university in Brighton in the early 2000s.
• Performing on his own with a laptop was ”pretty crap,” Mount once said, so he recruited his cousin Oscar Cash and school friend Gabriel Stebbing to join him as a band. Though Stebbing left Metronomy in 2009, the lineup eventually expanded to include Anna Prior, Olugbenga Adelekan, and Michael Lovett.
• Influenced by French house music and the Warp Records catalogue, Metronomy released their first album, Pip Paine (Pay the £5000 You Owe), in 2006.
• The group’s third album, 2011’s The English Riviera, went Top 30 in the UK and was nominated for the Mercury Prize.
• Metronomy’s 2014 follow-up, Love Letters, drew more from the sound of ’60s pop than from electronic music. The album went Top 10 in the UK.
• Between Metronomy projects, Mount wrote and produced “Adore You” for Jessie Ware and worked with Robyn on half a dozen songs for her 2018 album Honey.
• Metronomy released their sixth album, Metronomy Forever, in 2019.
• Along with making their own music, Metronomy have remixed songs by acts including Lady Gaga, Franz Ferdinand, and Gorillaz.
Members of Metronomy include, or have included, Joseph Mount, Oscar Cash, Michael Lovett and more.
