Metronomy Forever

Metronomy Forever, the band's sixth studio album, represents a pivotal moment of creative liberation for Joseph Mount. Following his high-profile collaboration on Robyn’s Honey, Mount returned to his solo process with a desire to move away from the 'prestige' album format toward something more sprawling and radio-like. The record is notable for its length (17 tracks) and its inclusion of numerous lo-fi instrumentals that act as palate cleansers between more traditional pop structures. Recorded primarily in his home studio in Kent, the album reflects Mount's transition from the urban energy of Paris to a more settled, domestic life. Critics noted the influence of 90s alternative radio and the 'mixtape' feel of the sequencing. While it contains some of the band's most direct pop moments, its true character lies in its willingness to be messy, experimental, and deeply personal, cementing Metronomy's status as masters of the 'eccentric pop' niche.
