Metronomy have announced that London's Ghostpoet will be their tour support this April, as well as revealing a host of new dates for September.
The band will also be supported by Summer Camp (main support) for their Shepherd's Bush Empire date on April 16th, alongside Ghostpoet and Duologue.
Metronomy release 'The English Riviera'; their follow up to 2008's critically acclaimed album 'Nights Out' on April 11th, which includes the singles 'She Wants' and 'The Look'.
Metronomy, the brainchild of Joseph Mount began ten years ago in the tiny, bohemian market town of Totnes in Devon, when Joseph’s Dad sold his son a computer so he could sit in his bedroom and make electronic music inspired by the likes of Autechre, LFO and Aphex Twin, more as a creative hobby than a pop masterplan.
After decamping to Brighton for Uni, Metronomy released the debut album in June 2006. It was called ‘Pip Paine (Pay The £5000 You Owe)’, and its obtuse but fascinating, largely instrumental electro-pop reflected the eccentricity of its title, and the enduring influence of Totnes.
