Metronomy releasing remix album (track premiere); Friends opening shows on their spring tour (updated dates)

Metronomy

Metronomy is no stranger to remixes. Until The English Riveria blew up, Jospeph Mount was more known as a remixer (Goldfrapp, Lykke Li,Charlotte Gainsbourg). But lately it’s been Metronomy who’s getting remixed. The English Riviera singles “The Look,” “The Bay” and “Everything Goes My Way” all came in a handful of versions, reworked by the likes of Fred Falke, The 2 Bears, Eron Alkan, and Psychemagik. But the band comissioned many more — including ones for album tracks — that haven’t seen the light of day. They will, though, when Metronomy releases The English Riviera Unreleased Remixes on March 3.

We’ve got the premiere of the compilations’ lead track, a cover (not actually a remix) of “Corrine” by Benoit & Sergio that you can stream below. Some of the other folks messing with Metronmy cuts include Mario Basanov, Ewan Pearson, Clock Opera, Two Inch Punch and more.

The 13-track album is digital-only but will be out in time for Metronomy’s upcoming North American tour which stops at Irving Plaza on March 30. Metronomy’s show at Music Hall of Williamsburg during CMJ last year was my favorite live performance of 2011, so if you haven’t seen them yet you should absolutely correct this as soon as possible. Friends open the Irving Plaza show and three other shows on the tour.

All Metronomy tour dates are below, along with stream of the Benoit & Sergio cover of “Corrine,” and cover art for The English Riviera Unreleased Remixes…
