The new Metronomy album, Love Letters, has a title that speaks volumes about sensations and modes of communication, about things that have always been there, and will always be here. Its no coincidence either. This is a record that wants to be timeless. In its execution, Love Letters tries to do fresh things in an old-fashioned way. It takes richer methods of recording and injects them with the shock of the new of tight electronics, and experiments in sound. It does so not to be retro, but to embrace the quality standards of the past. It also aims to be up there with the greats, reaching for those old stars.
