You often hear about certain songs, records and music being the perfect soundtrack for the night. It’s kind of hard to define the characteristics that make such music. Is it their certain appearance in the twilight? A darkened undertone with a huge faible for melancholia and introspective songwriting? Or is it just music that sounds a bit weirder and more odd than others? It’s probably something from everything and there are probably no better compilation series than the famous Late Night Tales who managed to combine all those factors within one selection of songs. Since its first issue back in 2001 a lot of famous artists contributed their song mixture to the series: a wide spectrum from Four Tet to Air and MGMT have already taken part in the challenge of creating the perfect soundtrack for the night. Now british indietronic pop group Metronomy are the next in line, and their just released compilation is nothing else than pure listening pleasure.

The title of the new Metronomy album is pretty self-explanatory: The English Riviera (unreleased remixes) is a collection of unreleased remixes from their album The English Riviera, and in normal circumstances, that would be the end of this review. But it’s not. On the surface, this might sound like easy listening electronic pop, but these guys are good at what they do, and with the assistance of remixers like New Villager, Benoit & Sergio, Wax Cotton, and Ewan Pearson, you get to hear The English Riviera album in an all new fauna. If anything, these remixes might help to bring new life to the original album, which wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Recently, Metronomy had the addition of two new members, a drummer and bassist, so that their shows can now be completely live. It seems they’ve progressed in other ways too: this release, The English Riviera, is cleverly catchy, but deceptively simple, a real sign of how naturally these songs come to them as a band.
