Now
on
album
number
seven
,
Metronomy
has
continued
where
many
of
their
2000s
‘cool’
band
peers
have
dropped
off
along
the
way.
Small
World
is
a
return
to
simple
pleasures,
nature,
an
embracing
in
part
of
more
pared
down,
songwriterly
sonics
(some
moments
wouldn’t
sound
amiss
on
a
Wilco
release),
all
while
asking
broader
existential
questions:
which
feels
at
least
somewhat
rooted
in
the
period
of
time
during
which
it
was
made
–
2020.
For
all
that
Mount
seems
to
think
he
has
made
a
comparatively
sombre
record,
much
of
Small
World
still
pulses
with
the
zesty,
tongue-in-cheek
joie
de
vivre
you’d
expect
of
a
Metronomy
record.
So
sure,
things
are
different
now
Joe
Mount
is
getting
older
and
what’s
on
his
mind
is
changing,
but
that
doesn’t
mark
a
change
in
quality
for
Metronomy.
An
immaculate
set
of
tracks,
Joe
Mount’s
ability
as
a
songwriter
and
arranger
shines
through
on
Small
World,
evergreen.
Metronomy
might
be
growing
up,
but
they’re
not
afraid
to
still
have
fun
with
it
all.
Through
the
tumultuous
ebb
and
flow
of
the
years,
Metronomy
continues
to
endure
and
make
great
pop
music
–
and,
really,
that’s
all
that
we
could
ask
for.
