Metronomy share "Insecurity" video, announce tour openers (Charlotte Adigery, Bodega, more)

Metronomy have just released the video for “Insecurity” from this year’s terrific Metronomy Forever. They made it in Philadelphia earlier this fall with directors Richard Smith & Jake Lazovick, as Metronomy frontman Joe Mount explains: “Working with Rich and Jake to make the new video was an absolute pleasure. Not only are they a bunch of geniuses, but they also took us to Philadelphia to film it, we love Philadelphia. I never really got the bottom of what the video is about, but I think it has something to do with me conspiring with some ‘suit’ to create the perfect party.” Like most Metronomy videos, this one’s worth watching. Check that out below.

The band have also announced support for their upcoming North American tour. Philadelphia’s Joy Again (whose own videos inspired Mount to contact Rich and Jake) will join from DC through Brooklyn; Belgian artist Charlotte Adigery opens from Montreal to Chicago; and Brooklyn’s Bodega will wrap up the tour with Parisian band Faux Real on select dates. The Brooklyn show with Joy Again happens February 5 at Brooklyn Steel (tickets). All dates are listed below.

Speaking of Charlotte Adigery, she’s playing a few headline dates while in North America, stopping in NYC at Nublu 151 on February 6 (tickets on sale 11/15 at 10 AM) and will also play San Francisco’s Rickshaw Stop on February 13 (tickets). Charlotte’s Zandoli EP, which was produced by Soulwax’s Dewaele brothers, came out earlier this year and is an awesome mix of club music and Caribbean flavors. You can stream that, and check out all her dates, below.
