The video for Metronomy's new single was unveiled today and, to quote the band, 'some people fucking hate it....go to youtube.com and have a look'. On it's own the video is really not that great - yes they are painted crazy colours, but it's nothing truly groundbreaking - but combined with the song it's a pleasant enough viewing experience.
I would have to argue that the best bit of the video are the angry comments from people who want their three minutes back, some of them really are hilarious. Example:
im real sorry but that was the worst thing ive ever heard and what the hell is a radio ladio i cant belive it that song made me want to abuse my self
But the real entertainment can be obtained from people who passionately wish to defend the honour of their favourite synthpop band. Example:
it cracks me up the dark hole that some of these children come from who have such a shitty misdirected conciousness that they have to tear down some one or something that they could not say to annother face to face but hide behind a keyboard typing hatefull comments they are getting their reward in full by closing the third eye and assuring desturcion will met you half way!!!! look up because below is the nashing of teeth by defeated loosers!!!
Which just about proves that you can't argue with multiple exclamation marks!!!!!
The second album has been delivered to the label and there's no release date yet, but it's said to be planned for march/april this year. They're also starting a massive UK tour with support from Primary 1, and there's dates and details on their Myspace.
WATCH THE VIDEO.
