    Congrats! Well deserved :)

    • Elliot says:

      I’m high as fuck! And your music makes me forget about everything for a second. Then the music stops and I’m back to the real world that I don’t want to live in because I’m not a rockstar surrounded by girls in fur coats. One of your tracks makes me feel like I’m floating down the river Nile wrapped in papyrus! Sometimes I can be floating for days! I’m scared that at some point I won’t stop floating and I’ll have to have the electric shock treatment like jack Nicholson in one flew over the coockoos nest and a big native Indian will throw a sink through a wall and I’ll escape forever…

    Metronomy and Anna Calvi in the list for Mercury prize! Look forward to seeing you guys at Leeds Festival end of August.

  5. Alan Towers says:

    My musical epiphanies have been Mars (The Planets Suite), Bebop-alula (Gene vincent), The Wall (Pink Floyd) and now The English Riviera (Metronomy). Keep doing it…
    All the best wishes, Alan. (x8hrs)

    I bought your album, i can’t believe what you made me feel, You deserve even more… Keep on like this, think always more about the succeed and fun than in the money, Im really impressed in what you made here, what a great band and what a great music!… Hope you reply, Im actually now a big fan of your music I’m 15 and I’m studying music, Thank you for your ideas of music, you deserve this more than anyone. Greetings from Mexico

  7. Jo Davies says:

    Congratulations guys. Well deserved.
    Will be good to see a great artist win this award once again.

  8. Benji Ortiz says:

    You don´t know me, I don´t know you (personally) but I really love you guys. YOU are great!
    The English Riviera makes me feel so good, I don´t know the exact feeling but all the songs (altough I have some favorites jaj) are so nice to listen to… It is the best album of my life, for real :)

    I´m from Mexico so maybe my spelling is not that good, but I hope you can understand me if you read this.

    Really hope “The English Riviera” wins, take care

  9. Tim McCann says:

    What a discovery! Fantastic album. Intelligent, engaging, beautifully crafted songs and fresh. Fond memories of South Devon and one lost weekend in Totnes – but that’s another story. Good luck with nomination.

  10. Marcus says:

    Read that you’d been nominated, found the web site, love the song and video at the top of the page, just purchased the Album for 6.99 on Amazon – what a bargain.

    Good luck

I’ve been crying out decent electro now since ou est le swimming pool’s The Golden Year and English Riviera far exceeded any expectations. I haven’t been ‘high’ on an album for ages but yours has done it! Totally amazing – I love it!

  58. Matthew Jackson says:

    Probably the best album I’ve ever brought, every track holds it own as a moment of pure musical genius. Listened to all the Mercury albums and yours should have blown the rest out of the water.

    Look forward to catching you in Brighton
