Metronomy share new video for 'Whitsand Bay' • News • DIY Magazine

Metronomy have shared their brand new video for ‘Whitsand Bay’.

The clip, as directed by Sam Davis and Tom Andrew, is a bit of a surreal one, following a rather fetching retro disco light to different surburban spots.

Speaking of the track itself, the band’s Joe Mount has said: “This is a pivotal track between the old idea I had for the album (i.e. a more standard form 10 track piece) and what the album is now. It’s intentionally free and easy and uses a loop I made on the LinnDrum to create the “drum ‘n’ bass lite” rhythm. It’s one of my favorite tracks on the album because it became a starting point for what the album is now. I also quite like the idea of having another song called the bay to distract people from the original bay.”

The clip lands just a few days after the band were confirmed to play at both this year’s Wide Awake and Iceland Airwaves festivals.

All The Small Things: Metronomy

New LP "Small World' might mark Metronomy's most pared-back work to date, but as Joe Mount enters his self-proclaimed "phase two', he's feeling more content than ever.
