Metronomy have long been known in the music world, not only for their own tracks, but for their extensive list of remixes. Formed in 1999, with a first single release in 2005, they’ve gone on to support the likes of Bloc Party, Klaxons and dance-favourites Justice.
Latest release ‘She Wants’ shows perhaps a darker side of Metronomy, especially if compared to earlier tracks such as ‘Thing for Me’ or ‘Radio Ladio.’ Whilst this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it doesn’t appear to click in this track. There’s no denying there are great sections within the track, as Metronomy put their musical talents to good use. However, as the track progresses, it doesn’t seem to go anywhere. Perhaps it’s a grower. Perhaps, and there’s no doubting it holds, a far greater force in the live scene. On record though, something just doesn’t quite work.
Although this track seems to not meet some standards set in earlier tracks, there’s no questioning whether Metronomy have got talent. As part of the new album ‘The English Riviera,’ it may just work perfectly.
3/5
