- 5. History Pre-Metronomy Before Joseph started writing music as Metronomy he, Gabriel and friend Kevin Hawes, who died in 2005, performed and wrote music as part of The Upsides and The Customers. Mount spent years drumming in “loads of bands, some questionable” at school. Drunk on Björk and Aphex, he locked himself away in his bedroom and started recording on his computer
- 6. Disography
- 7. Record Label – Because Music Because Music is an independent record label with headquarters in Paris and London Because Music was founded in 2005 It has acts on its register such as Metronomy and electronic duo Justice
- 8. Influences Their original influences were The Beatles, then as they got older moved into a „grunge‟ period, listening to Nivana and The Police Joseph was inspired by the likes of Autechre, LFO and Aphex Twin, seeing his work as more as a creative hobby than a pop masterplan. Metronomy released their debut album in June 2006. It was called Pip Paine, and its obtuse but fascinating, largely instrumental electro-pop reflected the eccentricity of its title, and the enduring influence of Totnes. For the album English Rivera their were heavy influences from the late 70s/early 80s
- 9. Representation of genre As an electro- pop band they fit the stereotypical values, as they use a lot of synthesised sounds, beats and sequencers They often have repetitive rhythms and structures – which Metronomy carries out in lots of their tracks The videos Metronomy create are often relating to the bands background, always being original and well thought out They are different to „pop‟ bands as they have a small dedicated fan base Taking inspiration from the late 70s early 80s they blend together similar beats,synths and vocals to create their own style
- 10. Attitude/ Image The image of the band is quite urbanised and stereotypically “electro”. They have a very „laidback and dreamy‟ style to their music which is prominent in their attitude to their music, as to start with they saw it as a side project The starting point for their album Nights out was "a half-arsed concept album about going out and having a crap time.“ – showing the honest idea that the albums are expressional, rather than made for commercial gain
- 11. Nights out album analysis The band simply use a work of art, the art shows a break in the clouds over a city – this could show how the band have gained a lot from their lives growing up in Totnes, and how it has The artwork for the influenced their music album was created by airbrush artist Phili p Castle They also show the people in a remote location, far away from the city, perhaps showing how the band want The album is done in to get away and reach better dark colours, which places with their lives and links together the title music of the album with the art work It could also show the starting behind the album of “going out and having a crap time” – wanting to get away
- 12. Buying patterns The customers also bought a range of other electro, indie pop artists, from the last 10 years
