Metronomy are constantly changing here. One moment you’re comfortable, listening to a safe guitar track and then they throw a spanner in the works and next thing you know, you’re tapping your feet to a dance track. This is fun.
It’s like watching that horror film, the one which you know you won’t sleep after, but every time it gets a bit too scary, the film becomes a rom-com. The monster turns into Ryan Reynolds, and the person he’s chasing is Emma Stone. All that sweaty, edge of your seat tension stuff becomes soppy scenes of the protagonist and the villain having a coffee and laughing in some chic place.
Admittedly, it can come across as something that’s been taped together and glued by some youngsters in a
primary school craft hour. It’s a little all over the place; influence and genre are meaningless here. But, If you like something to stay defined from start to finish, this isn’t for you. At 17 shortish tracks, it’s quite laborious, but if you give into its hypnotic transition, and changes of pace, it’s alright.
