Aug 14, 2016Summer 08 feels like Metronomy's most darkly complete, and complex album. The simplistic 80s sound and coy lyricism allow for more fascination to shine through as the music takes you to dim, melancholic atmospheres. It's their most well intentioned and convincing album yet.

Dec 29, 2016While a few of the tracks are definitely worth listening to, Summer 08 is what happens when you give an architect their old tools back, only to find out they've forgotten how to use them. The nostalgic sounds of Metronomy from days past are there, but feel almost forced together to make songs that feel soulless and are straight up unpleasant.

Jul 13, 2016Not the best Metronomy album, however its mixture of 80s, 90s and early 2000's beats makes it feel like a feature length after school special. Download: Old Skool, Back Together, Hang Me Out to Dry.

Aug 12, 2016So the album remains a solo project, despite the welcome input from Robyn on Hang Me Out To Dry. The duet hints at how human Metronomy can sound when more life is squirted onto their palette.

Aug 10, 2016Summer 08 is good work from Mount, and an album with its fair share of corking tracks.

Jul 28, 2016This is Metronomy's first album since their debut recorded solely by Mount. It might also be their best.
