Sep 03, 2019 Metronomy By Christopher Roberts

Metronomy are releasing a new album, Metronomy Forever, on September 13 via Because Music. Now they have shared another song from the album, “Wedding Bells,” via a lyric video for the track that features the lyrics written on a wedding program. Watch it below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Metronomy Forever includes “Lately,” a new song the British band shared via a video in May (it was #1 on our Songs of the Week list). When the album was announced in June they shared a video for another new song from it, “Salted Caramel Ice Cream” (which was also one of our Songs of the Week). Then they shared the album’s “Walking in the Dark,” via a video for the track (it was also one of our Songs of the Week).

Metronomy Forever is the follow-up to 2016’s Summer 08. Since then Mount did production work on Robyn‘s Honey (Robyn appeared on Summer 08). Mount also moved from Paris to the English countryside, which influenced the album.

Mount had this to say about Metronomy Forever in a previous press release: “What happens is when you’re making music and you enter a world where you have achieved some sort of celebrity no matter how large or small you start to think about yourself in terms of legacy and what you’re going to leave behind and then you realize that’s limited to the interest people have in you. In the end I feel completely comfortable with it. The less importance you place in any art the more interesting it can become in a way…I’m making music, I’m going to do some concerts, I need to feed my children.”
