“It’s Good to Be Back” leads the UK band’s seventh studio album, out early next year
Metronomy have announced their seventh studio album: Small World is out February 18 via Because Music. Today, the group has shared lead single “It’s Good to Be Back,” which arrives with a music video directed by the filmmaker duo Dreamjob. Check it out below, and scroll down for Small World’s LP art and tracklist.
Small World follows the band’s 2019 album, Metronomy Forever. Of the new single, frontman Joseph Mount said in press materials: “Part of me was thinking, ‘What is the lamest platitude people are going to be saying coming out of the past two years?’, but at the same time, I was thinking how it will be true and how it might feel doing things again.” He continued:
I’ve been remembering what it was like as a kid when I’d be sitting in the backseat of my parents’ car and they’d be playing their music and I’d think ‘this is awful,’ but there’d be one or two songs I would like. I thought it would be fun to make that kind of album, and this is the song the kids might like. This is the “cool” song.
