Metronomy - Heartbreaker
4-5 StarsImportant points to note in pop: always, always, add the sound of a creaking door to your singles. Laugh all you want, but it’s this stroke of genius that makes ‘Heartbreaker’ one of the singles of the year.
Important points to note in pop: always, always, add the sound of a creaking door to your singles. Laugh all you want, but it’s this stroke of genius that makes ‘Heartbreaker’ one of the singles of the year.

Yeah, the chorus is utterly amazing, and musically ‘Heartbreaker’ literally oozes cool, but the first time you pressed the little play button on some Hype Machine linked rip, it’s [i[that noise that had you coming back for more, just to work out what the hell was going on. Trust us; we know.
Ignoring that, an incomparable bass line, smart percussion and memory hogging vocal mean that Metronomy may be on the verge of becoming a mainstream concern. Who needs WD40 anyway?
