Love Letters

Metronomy

A warm, tape-saturated retreat into minimalist soul and psych-pop. Recorded entirely on analog gear, it feels like a dusty polaroid of a lonely summer evening.

It sounds like a Motown record played through a broken vintage synthesizer in a very quiet house.

A lonely, analog warmth that feels like reading old letters by the light of a single lamp.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The rhythmic backing vocals on I'm Aquarius that mimic a steady, ticking clock.
The sudden, triumphant burst of brass that cuts through the lo-fi haze of the title track.
The way the drums on The Upsetter sound like they were recorded in a small, wooden box.
