Metronomy share "Walking in the Dark" from new LP (watch the video)

Metronomy‘s new double album Metronomy Forever is out in September and they’ve just released new single, “Walking in the Dark.” Minimal and moody with a distinct late night vibe, there’s a little Gerry Rafferty “Right Down the Line” feel to it, too, in a synthpop kind of way. The playful video, directed by bandleader Joe Mount, features creations from designer and animator Clara Bacou. “The ‘Walking In The Dark’ video is the age old tale of the guru and the fisherman set against a green screen backdrop,” says Mount. “Clara is someone I became aware of through a collaboration between ourselves and Central St Martins college in London a few years ago. Her style is completely unique and something I was desperate to make part of the video. The song is one of my favourites from the new record and gives a wonderful taste of how eclectic the album is.” Watch that below.

The band will be on tour in Europe and The UK this fall. No word on North American shows but all dates are listed below.
