Metronomy - Love Letters

Swell new single from the English pop band.

Love Letters is the title track of Metronomy's forthcoming fourth album, and the next single to drop from that record. Where the first single, I'm Aquarius, felt a little introverted and quiet, Love Letters is big and bombastic, full of late '60s-style pianos and trumpets. That said, it's still a different beast to songs like The Bay or The Look from their last album 'The English Riviera' in terms of songwriting and instrumentation. It's also one of the best songs Metronomy have written.

The single got its first airing on Zane Lowe's show on BBC Radio 1 last night, where it was also confirmed that Michel Gondry would direct its video.
