Metronomy – The English Riviera: 10th Anniversary (180g Vinyl 2LP)

Metronomy’s career-changing album The English Riviera turns ten years old in 2021! To celebrate, the band reissues the much-loved record on 180g vinyl 2LP (with etched fantascope on side D) featuring six previously unreleased bonus tracks. A love letter to the stretch of coast a stone’s throw from where Joe Mount grew up, The English Riviera marked a breakout moment in the band’s history that would lead them to global success and see them constantly developing their sound for a decade to come.

Metronomy’s biggest album to date, The English Riviera was nominated for the Mercury Prize, is certified Gold in the UK and platinum in France, and upon release was met with wide scale critical acclaim: ranked as NME’s #2 album of the year (“a deep sea of ideas and imagination”), NYLON’s #2, Uncut’s #3, Mixmag’s #4, and #7 by The Guardian (“an assured, beguiling album”) among many other end of year lists. The English Riviera’s standout tracks “The Look” and “The Bay” remain Metronomy’s biggest and best recognized songs to date.
