Metronomy have announced their seventh album, Small World, which arrives February 18 via Because Music. The dance-rock outfit have previewed the LP with the lead single ‘It’s good to be back’, which is accompanied by a video from the directing duo Dreamjob. Check it out along with the album artwork and tracklist below.
“Part of me was thinking, ‘What is the lamest platitude people are going to be saying coming out of the past two years?’, but at the same time, I was thinking how it will be true and how it might feel doing things again,” frontman Joseph Mount explained in a statement.
He continued: “I’ve been remembering what it was like as a kid when I’d be sitting in the backseat of my parents’ car and they’d be playing their music and I’d think ‘this is awful,’ but there’d be one or two songs I would like. I thought it would be fun to make that kind of album, and this is the song the kids might like. This is the ‘cool’ song.”
Metronomy’s last album was 2019’s Metronomy Forever.
