Keep doing your thing family, I like your style, it's different
Yes. This is different … pleasurably different.
A lot of electronica is like popping pills. Its short, quick, somewhat discrete, ephemeral … and I suppose it is meant to be, bec. the moment you pop it – down it goes and it gets digested by the acids of our stomach and is gone. Thats not to say that thats bad. Everything has its purpose. {You can't dance to everything. No?}
Metronomy is different. You can't just simply pop their music. It's too big for that. You do however ingest it in multifarious ways and up it goes – not down. Up to your head and stays there for a good bit before going out.
Listening to Metronomy's music is like going on a twisty turny journey up some hilly road. As you go somewhat fast around the curves and bends, you feel the pressure as your body is pushed hard against the person sitting next or against the sides of your car as you go from turn to turn.
And then there are many spots on this journey, where you just need to stop, get out, sort of look around, but really contemplate, take in a thought or two and then get going once again. It is very thoughtful.
