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

Metronomy's career-changing Mercury Prize-nominated album The English Riviera is turning ten years old.

Re-issued with six previously unreleased bonus tracks now available on limited edition heavyweight 180g vinyl with etched fantascope on side D.

A love letter to the stretch of coast a stone's throw from where Joe 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.

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.

Relentless in its pursuit to soundtrack the uniqueness of the British summer, The English Riviera is a challenging but ultimately rewarding effort which cements Mount's reputation as one of Britain's most intriguing pop mavericks.
