Metronomy are set to re-issue their album 'Nights Out' in the New Year.
Initially released in 2009, 'Nights Out' saw Metronomy become a fully fledged group, with songwriter Joe Mount recruiting like minds around him.
Largely informed by his move to London, 'Nights Out' is about debauchery and regret, becoming swamped in your surroundings and attempting to assert yourself.
As Joe Mount told Metro at the time: "It’s a half-arsed concept album about going out and having a crap time...”
'Nights Out' will be re-packaged and re-issued on February 9th; alongside a vinyl pressing, the package will contain a bonus disc of B-sides and rarities.
Joe explains: “Oscar reminded me the other day how I said to him on completing Radio Ladio ‘I think I’ve just written my first number 1’. I hadn’t. We also reminisced about the day we borrowed the Honda Insight for the album artwork: I found the owner on an enthusiasts chat room, we gave his daughter two Kate Nash tickets and a meet and greet with Kate in exchange for a few shots with the vehicle… simpler times. Shout out to Myspace.”
Metronomy are set to end 2018 in some style, playing Edinburgh's Hogmanay celebrations on December 31st.
