This is a thank you message to everyone who has said such nice things about the new record. Thanks must also go to all the folk going out and about at records shops buying the thing. This message is addressed to YOU fan, your support is very much what keeps us up and running. see you soon!
Loving this album immensely. Thanks for the music guys.
Big question now: US tour, when???!!
Amazing album! you have to come back to NZ when your doing an Austrailain tour!
Just incredible, thank you
I’m going to agree with Rich, we do love you here in the US!
Hi,
Just downloaded the new album this weekend. Really brilliant. Congratulations.
Got a huge request! If you happen to be around Totnes (is your hometown after all) on Friday 6th May then I have a great suggestion for you – to be the first music on the new Totnes FM, the new community radio station for Totnes and the surrounding villages.
We’re going live on air for the first time at 7pm that night with a big party at the studios. We have a stage and perhaps you could do a little mini-set and we can plug it all into the studio and have a home grown band as the first music on Totnes FM.
I know it’s a big long shot, but would you consider it? Be great if you did.
Hopefully hear from you.
Cheers,
David
Totnes FM
Would love to hear the new album and tell you how amazing it is but havent received my Pre-order vinyl/CD copy as yet
i have been unable to leave the house for 3 days because IM WAITING FOR IT TO ARRIVE. ITS V GOOD much better than i thought it would be!
Truly astounding, well done guys. Looking forward to seeing you in Manchester in September.
Can’t get enough of the new album, it’s phenomenal, loved nights out but think this tops it. it gets better with each listening. look forward to seeing you guys on saturday at the empire!
The new album is solid! I’ve been recommending it to everyone lately.
I’ve been bored by music lately, but this album was the fresh air I needed.
Thanks for the fantastic album!
US tour… Australian tour… How about first of all extending the UK tour down to the ENGLISH RIVIERA, c’mon you know you want to, a secret gig for the Devon Massive… pretty please…
Arrived monday at home ; the album has already turned a hundred time on my turntable !! Love it so much !! THANK YOU !!
Have managed to get my download at least. Really liking the album, such a fresh summer sound. Espically loving Anna’s vocal contribution.
Listened to the album about five times today. Absolutely brilliant. Already bought the wavs, but would love a US cd… Got a label over here?
And of course a tour, but that would be after August apparently!
New album is brilliant. I don’t know if I can say it’s better than Nights Out. It’s certainly and equal. It’s a lot more chilled out, which is exactly what I need. I’m pretty sure I must have just about every Metronomy release. Your stuff is just suited to me so much. Love it, hope to hear progress on another soon. Catch you next Australia tour.
Australia 2011 Australia 2011 Australia 2011
Pleeeeaaaaassssssseeee
Are you giving *me* the Look Look ? I’ll be playing “She Wants” on my last weekly radio show next Tuesday 8pm – Soundart Radio 102.5 FM – the licensed community radio station for Totnes. I will *NOT* be playing Super Sharp Shooter – you dig.
Nice video guys, really really nice!
Thank you for your new record ……….
Amazing, amazing, amazing songs
c’mon guys, how about a tour date closer to home!!! If Muse can do it…..? x
love you very much, you are incredible hope to meet you someday somewhere;))
Hi Metronomy!
woaw! this is the kind of record i was waiting for for a long time!
really good work, really good songs and nice clip.
Sure this is the kind of CD i’ll buy!
Thank you guys.
I’m a new fan and have just recently discovered Metronomy. The PR process is working effectively too… I started to become aware of you recently through NME, then i downloaded your free single off i Tunes, I’ve since visited your website, watched your vids, loved your style and your sound, checked out The English Riveria and am now about to download it! The PR process in motion!
Love the album guys and including the CD with the Vinyl was real nice of you. Great Stuff!
I’m totally in love with ‘the english riviera’! I can’t stop listening all songs from this album, all of the songs are extremely incredible. It’s really rare – every song on the album is magnificent.
I hope I’ll see you in Poland soon!
Quality album once again! Can’t believe I have your “The Look” single on 7 inch woo!
“Corinne” and “The Bay” are beautiful and ever-lasting songs. Bravo !
oh,guys,it’s very very nice,I very love yours
Just listened to your album on spotify, loved electronic music for years, your album is way up there, Quality Guys and Girls ! I’ll be downloading it on Itunes.
Know Totnes very well, if you are passing Backtrax Records on Fore Street, pop in and say hello to Steve for us
Good luck with the Album, more people should listen to it
Rgds Rich Baker
Just downloaded the album after a recommendation in Stuff magazine – it’s a belter!
Looking out across a really sunny Torbay, listening to the new album.. perfect. I’m so glad that this album dropped to coincide with the amazing easter weekend weather.
Thanks for the album guys, and for putting us on the map!
Love your album, amazing!!!
See you soon in FRAAANCE
Superb album!!!
Hi joseph, I was supposed to see you at the duchess in york last night only i had a fall out with the doormen and managed to get me and my girlfriends all thrown out!! it wasn’t quite the night i had planned so we found a bar, got hammered and danced to Bob Marley instead!! Guess i’ll have to wait till Leeds fest. Gutted we missed you. Loving the new album… A Fan.
Hi, I bought this record at some record shop and I do not regret this. I’m going to report about you guys at some local radio channel in Germany.☺ What I like about this album is that this album is like a multilayered collage, which combines the best elements.
Played as local support for ya’ll, yesterday in York. Loving English Riveria, hauntingly enough the album already sounds like a classic. Big Fans. i doubt this will be read but so it’s on record – would love to play with you again. Your live show was spectacular, loved it all – Big fans – full to the brim!
Joe – FILMS
i am also aware i have written ‘Big Fans’ twice please ignore one of them. Much appreciated.
Hey guys, First off I would like to say that, as expected, English Riviera is masterfully beautiful, from the very beginning, setting the mood that seduces me into a content, wonderment mode until the very end. And then again once more.
Upon relishing over you guys’ older tracks, one in particular-”1st String Strung,” I couldn’t resist the entertainment of the idea of singing over it. I sent it to a buddy and he had to add drums as well. It’s a really short snippet, but since your the brainchild, I figured you might enjoy or intensely dislike it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz6snMpQOmY
Hey guys, Forgive me for that last broken link. This one works for sure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUsjUytK7YQ
Once again, it’s “1st String Strung” with additional drums and vocals.
HOLY COW!! This is fantastic! I’m buying all your music from iTunes right now!
The Look is a fabulous song – so catchy. I have sent it out on facebook to my friends – I’m hooked! Hope to see you in London soon,
Thank-you so much for the music – bliss. I fell in love with what your doing when I watched Jools. I can’t stop listening to your latest album – ace!!
After having had a weird obsession with Nights Out I was hoping that English Riviera would be just as good but I think it’s safe to say it was better! I love the album and the vocals and the wooden block instrument thing that makes a scraping noise used on some tracks and just the general feel of it, it beat all expectations.. Gutted I missed Shepherd’s Bush Gig though; I’ll see you next time you hit London!
Thank-you so so much for the best record I have heard for such a long time.
It is so rare for me these days to listen to an entire record, start to finish, over and over again, daily. You are amazingly talented musicians and I thank Triple J radio station in Australia for introducing you to me. Hope you make it to Australia one day!.
wow guys i love the record the look, it’s fucking amazing….
continue…
we see each other at the chelsea in vienna…
Amazing album!
Please come to HK!!
Come to Granada or Madrid to give a concert in Spain!
and I would like to contact you, to tell me the cnt of the Inglés riviera shirt, wide and long
Love the album. On of these few records (I bought the CD) to listen from beginning to end. The more I listen it, the less I have a favourite song. Great, great stuff guys. And wow, I get a double thanks for buying my copy at JB Hifi in Sydney (Macquarie Centre).
Minor detail, I also like the simple booklet and the paper Warner has used for the Australian release. Cool cover and pic.
she wants is bone chilling.
Really love you guys, you’re wonderful! I’m so happy you came in Belgium, it was a great show! Hope you’ll be back soon! Your new album is quite different from the others but absolutly amazing too … I really like the new songs, it makes me smiling. This new record is just what I needed.
MERCI for just being you, in fact.
See you soon, I hope
Hi guys
The new album is fantastic. I would like to use a track or two from it on a short film I’m working on but finding it difficult to work out how to contact your label. Drop me an email if you can and point me in the right direction.
Good work
pure enjoyment …than you so much for this music! ♥
This is definately my one for the summer. You guys were great on Jools Holland by the way
hey guys, your music is amazing, just got the new album last weekend and cant stop listening to it. Coming to the West Coast U.S. anytime soon!
come to México!! please :3
It’s so good ! I was waiting for this album and I’m not deceived… !
Can’t stop listening to it while working on my computer !
Bonjour du Québec ! Can we expect a show in Montreal or Quebec soon ?
new album is brilliant!
Ukraine wait for Metronomy!
Hey guys awesome album, cant make up my mind what is my favourite track, Everything goes my way, The Look or the Bay, Decisions decisions. Definately some New Orderish influences on the Bay and as a big NO fan that has to be good. Any gigs planned for Ipswich way?
It would be great if the Beeb picked up the organ riff as background to some of the summer programming feature intros.
PS thought you were awesome on Jools, and people that was a good line up.
↯★I*** ↯↯Saludos desde Bogotá-Colombia, The Bay es una canción sencillamente hermooooooosaaaaaaaaaaa, única, divinaaaaaa! The English Riviera que buen disco, Felicitaciones ♥”♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ★…↯↯ ***I★↯
Ustedes son sin duda mi banda favorita, lo son desde la primera vez que los escuche, son lo mejor, Si vienen a Bogota Colombia seria lo mas cool que me podria pasar… son geniales!!!.
just made the move to australia from england. never heard you on the radio there.
you are on national radio everyday here.
im hooked, album on its way!
The English Riviera’s better than Nights Out imo
So good! Thanks, Metronomy!
Corinne <3
wow wow wow this is a shimmering thick concise well-balanced fun-loving honest record again, you have floored me and comforted me with sounds that resonate my inner being. thank you thank you thank you thank you. very talented. beautiful voices. an inspiration. ok enough! check out my website if you like.
Tried to order the new record via my usual store in Dallas, TX…lo and behold, it’s been over a month and they still haven’t received it. I desperately need more Metronomy in my life.

I LOVE the English Riveria. I missed you playing in Norwich, as I have just moved here. Could I tempt you to come back and play at the Norwich Arts Centre? I can offer a mighty fine high tea…Keep up the marvelous work. Rach
Pingback: the bay | TIMESTRETCH
Having actually grown up in the bay during the 70′s and 80′s I soooo get what The English Riviera is all about. Torquay never quite lived up to our expectations either as youngsters and we couldn’t wait to leave! However views change (especially after having children!) and we’ve just moved back, with family, after living in London for 15 years. Am loving playing the album whilst driving around Torbay!! Just wanted to say love love love the new video for ‘the bay’, you’ve made Torquay look so sexy! Have just emailed the link of the video to all my pals to show them how beautiful this place is and can’t wait to see you at Glastonbury!
Thanks for a blinding set at Parklife. I’m not sure how to contact the band so thought this would be a start. I’m attending the Big Chill festival and it would make my day if Metronomy play ‘not made for love’. Fingers and toesies crossed.
The video to The Bay is great
Hey!
I wonder would Metronome be interested in performing on BalconyTV while in Dublin?
BalconyTV is a viral music website that has locations in 21 cities around the world.
Simply put we film bands on our balcony. Its just one song…and usually just one take.
Our shows have been watched over 21 million times.
We are located near to the venue the band is playing…and it usually only takes about 15 minutes to tape.
The performances are usually acoustic, but small amps are welcome too.
Other bands that have performed include The Script, Mumford and Sons, Jessie J, The Temper Trap, Biffy Clyro, Bowling for Soup, The Maine, Thirsty Merc, Victor Wooten, Neon Trees, Joan As Police Women, Novelle Vague, Of Montreal, Joel Plaskett, Paul Brady, Brendan Benson, Ed Sheeran, Zaz, Hugo, Matisyahu, Charlie Winston, Buzzcocks, Boyce Avenue, Deertick, Secondhand Serenade, Joshua Radin, Maverick Sabre, Roots Manuva, Eskimo Joe, Xavier Rudd…and many more.
Let me know if you would be interested, and we can try schedule a recording.
Thanks!
Jessa

Many thanks and support from The Netherlands!
The Look and The Bay are just awesome records!
Wow, what a nice track is “the Bay”…….i have to visit it once….
Can you pleeeease tell me what kind of sunglasses Joseph is wearing in the clip? I have to have one of those…..
Thanks!
Please do a gig in torbay. it would be amazing seeing you guys there in your element.
Guys, you should definatly do a show at the english riviera centre in ‘the bay’. it would be so epic to see u guys do a gig in the place that the record is named after, Torbay!! end of tour maybe? such an awesome album aswell guys…when was the bay video shot by the way? Literally go past the balloon on the seafront all the time! so glad theres an awesome band really representing the bay. (im not gunna lie until this year when i saw the front cover for the new album and a “pieces of me” interview in NME i didnt even realise you were even from devon) Torbay flag as the album cover
liking it. Anywho just thought it might be a good idea (not just because i live 10 mins from the riviera centre & wouldnt have to head up country to see u and fell asleep with the album a few weeks ago and had a dream about seeing u there) but the albums called the english riviera! you have to come down, Theres a few really good local bands that could support u aswell think about it!
I just cant stop listening your music!… You have a big fan in Mexico City. Hope to see you guys in a live performance in my country! Is there any plans? HUUUUGE FAN!
Hey Guys, u have a lot of fans down here in Brasil!!! And we are so happy that u are coming in august!!!
Congrats for the new album. It is really amazing! We are so in love with u guys!
Warm hugz from Brasil! lol
Eles vem em agosto?
Having grown up in Torquay (& thankfully escaped), I’m very impressed by how glamourous you managed to make it look when it’s really packed with heroin addicts and pregnant teenagers. Bravo!
Hey guys,
I went to your gig at Lido, Berlin and I loved.; You’re so cool…
Now you have to come to São Paulo
xoxo
nice music guys, i like to hear your song and replay anytimes, i hope you can come to my country, Indonesia waiting you…
Sincerely i didn’t like much the last album but english riviera is amaaazing!
I can’t stop listening!
Can’t wait to see you in Rio!
WHAT’S YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS!?
Hey guys!
Just wanted to let you know that I am absolutely obsessed with “The Bay”!!! Please come to Vancouver, Canada some time soon.
You should know Brazil!
Hey,
Must say that I’m currently in love with you guys… Your music literally brightens my day! I really really really really hope you end up doing a full tour of the US, I was almost going to go to the NY show but couldn’t get time off work… Wish you were going to be here longer!!!
Again, keep up the fantastic work!! You guys seriously ROCK
John
I LOVE your video “The bay” and bought directly the album

Just the best music I have heard for ages, saw you for first time at glastonbury and absolutely hooked – its all about the look look! Mark my words that will be number one!!!
Love the album and can’t wait to seee you at pier 54!!!
Hi there.
Today is the first time I have listened to your music. I came here through the NME MP3s and Streams blog.
Your music is amazing. It makes my spirit soar inside. I get tingles from the beautiful songs you have created.
Please visit Dallas, Texas.
Regards,
Tony
The English Riviera is GORGEOUS! really like it. travelling a long way to see you on 5th august in Salzburg YEEAHHH
Where’s your friends? Why’d you change your look? You all used to be a bunch of goofballs. I liked when you guys were kinda offbeat and nerdy.
i regularly eargasm when listening to the english riviera.
thank to you Joseph and Oscar. You are incredible!
I want more songs and remix.
greetings¡¡
ahhhhhh . you play in Andalucia SPAIN pleasee¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ we want listen to you in concert¡¡
thank you guys for your music
I think that it should be us thanking you. And myself for your set list in Portugal. Your concert was breathtaking.
Hi, I made a video (not for commercial purposes!) and with your music as background,because I think it fits perfect with the soul of the video. I only want to say that I love your music, and to dedicate you this video!:
http://vimeo.com/28119981
Thank you for the great concert in salzburg at the Stuck!Festival. We have see you first time in hamburg at the dockville in 2009 and we love your voices and the warm analog sounds and the tricky arrangements(i’m an old zappa-fan)
The english riviera is realy beautyful, especially corinne, but also the bay and look and the whole album sounds great:-) Thank you for the good times and feelings.
Unbievleable how well-written and informative this was.

I have to say the current album rocks. Very mellow, very 80s and very electronica. Love the sound you have captured and can’t wait to hear more from you. Even your remixes are dope. Hope to see you in the US soon! Your my favorite band. Know you have a huge fan here in Denton, TX!!! : )
i love you metronomy.
you’re the best!
Hokay so… I just discovered this band like three weeks ago on pandora when they played “Black Eye Burnt Thumb”. I must say that Metronomy is the only band I’ve found since 2005 that I like the entire discography of. COME TO AUSTIN TEXAS!!! (please?)
Love your music and love KCRW Los Angeles for playing you lots!
An enormous beautiful record. I listen to it practically every day since the exit in France. So that I want to redeem myself one every time to have the same sensation of excitement;-) a regret I missed the concert to Olympia. Made a Zénith in Paris, you have such a glory in France, now… More all the big groups pass there sooner or later. Otherwise I wait impatiently for a new album, I shall buy it blindly. Bravo for your musical ingenuity. And thank you.
l’oeil libre
Discovered your album via the nominations. Its by far the best I’ve heard in a time. Love it!
Well, I just don´t really know what to say: since buying the CD The English Riviera I haven´t listened to anything else since… Every single track is refreshing, full of suprises, and innovating music; simply fantastic. You are THE BEST. Great musicians who know their instruments. Keep up the brilliant sound! The English Revieria is the best I´ve heard in years (been around for over 50 years, so I think I know what I´m talking about!).
When are you coming to Hamburg or Osnabrück (Germany) ?
Garry
I am satisfied for the zénith of Paris on March 3rd 2012!I recently listened again to one very old album of a group so mythical as yours ; young marble giant ” the colossal youth “. I find that there is a simillitude musically speaking with your record become also a classic henceforth.
thanks!
Wow !!I´ve just noticed that you guys are coming to Osnabrück. Unbelieveable !!Take just one guess who will be there?? Yep, that´s right, and I´m gonna take a couple of days off; the concert is on a Monday
We really look forward to see you live !!
Garry and Erika
http://www.1songday.com/2011/10/metronomy-everything-goes-my-way/
Still love it.
holy crap. opening your US tour in ATL. such a strong move. can’t wait to see ya’ll!!! i may go to the first four shows.
Hey guys,
You’re fantastic. Your only flaw is that you keep booking 21+ shows in Portland, OR. I’m 20 for goodness’ sake. Wish I could see you in April…
WOW!!!!! I like lots of quality music, from the rarest Northern Soul to Rockabilly to Ska to recent stuff like early Jamiroquai, BUT…… just discovered Metronomy, this is what my ears, imagination and the depths of my soul have been waiting for, i am completely blown away!!!
I would love to see you live, thank you.
We seem to have some trouble getting timely releases of your EP’s and videos on the Australian iTunes Store. I really want to buy the ‘Everything Goes My Way’ EP, but there seems to be no legitimate way to purchase it. I love everything you guys make, I’ve got them all.
I just have discovered this band, I listened them in a small pub of Granada, Spain, and I love them since then. We hope to see this band in Spain soon!
Sawatdi kaaaa!
Just take a little time during my nice holidays in Thailande, where my boyfriend and I don’t stop to listen to your music, to say : waouh! Fantastic, greatful, beautiful, nice, perfect, precious, smart, and so sexy … I just discovered Metronomy 2 months ago and i am like an adolescent: just a complete fan!!! I saw you in Clermont-ferrand in france: it was so good, just too much people to appreciate the groove of your music and dance. I want to see you again. Special clap to bass who is so…. Mmhh!
Let me hope that you’re gonna give us some beautiful music for a long time. English riviera is indeed one the best album i’ve ever heard(and i’m not so young!) and i’m not surprised finally that so much people are in love with you. Thank you so much for all that emotion!
You deserve it, fab four ! Just one question ? Where could I find the scores of your songs ? Seeing you on stage twice this year made me want to ressurect my old keybord and play again ! Kisses from France
i love you metronomy WITH ALL MY HEART
i love you joseph, you’re a genius and wonderful
thank you metronomy YOU ARE THE BEST AND I LOVE YOU EVERY DAY
Knocked us out you did with your live concert in Osnabrück. Being two out of the 5 OAP´s (not quite, but we felt like it !) in the Lagerhalle – the remainding 495 people being between 20 and 30, was a bit strange, but, who cares ! we have seen you live, and it was magic. Whatever you do, for God sake, don´t split up… give us more of your fantatic, magical music. Let me know asap when you bring out your next album.
Garry and Erika
you are awseome guys ! i’m form uruguay, a little country near from argentina, it will be so perfect if you includes argentina on your next tour, so i can dance and dance for the eternity when i’ll see u on live
bet wishes for 2012!
sorry for my terrible english
Would love to see you come to Canada if touring the states – outstanding music keep up the good work.

Thank you very much for this great album! I’m from Barcelona and I’m looking forward to see you at Sonar!!!
DDDDDDD
Metronomy is sensational!
So glad I found your band, I’ve been looking for this sound for years! The soft, yet connecting voice; infectious riffs with the serene rhythm guitar, it’s all amazing. I commend you for mixing such an original sound!
Make a true cross-country US tour! (Listening all the way from Kansas)
Metronomy in concert last WE in Paris : Absolutly Fabulous !!! Thanks for this great moment !!!! See you next time in Arras for the Main Square Festival !!!
Thanks for a fun night at Irving Plaza.
Guys, I was here yesterday at Irving Plaza in New York. You were AMAZING. I will never listen to METRONOMY as I was used to do before. You Rock! You must have worked very hard to get this so Perfect because it was perfect!! I admire what you are able to do. All of you are great. I even bought your albums when I came back home! Thank you so much for what you gave to us!
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT BRAND OF SUNGLASSES THE LEAD SINGER IS WEARING IN ‘THE BAY.’ THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!!
Thanks!
I love the music so much and was wondering if I could get permission to use it on some youtube videos?
Awestruck like Christmas – unwrapping song after song of goldenness.
Yes, please to come to the Australian Riviera if you can face the flight.
Now is the time to book at an intimate venue here in San Diego, CA. Look what happened to the Fray. Let me know when you will be back in the USA. House of Blues is waiting for you.
I am a huge and loyal fan of you guys! PLEASE COME TO BRAZIL AGAIN! Keep up the amazing work! Cant’t wait for a South American Tour! Cheers!
Mexico City is waiting for you!!! I love you guys TwT
