“The Look” by Metronomy
From the album The English Riviera (2011)
“The Look” by Metronomy appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2011. It was first released in 2011 on the album The English Riviera. Its best result is #77 on the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2011. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #598 alternative song of 2011.
"The Look" was the second single from The English Riviera, Metronomy's third album, arriving in March 2011, a few weeks before the record itself came out on Because Music. Joseph Mount wrote it alone and carries most of the load: he sings, plays guitar, drums and percussion, and shares the synthesizers with Oscar Cash.
The bass belongs to Gabriel Stebbing. The founding member recorded the album's bass parts before leaving the band, with Olugbenga Adelekan taking over on bass and Anna Prior joining on drums. Ash Workman engineered and mixed the track and joins Cash on handclaps, and Lorenzo Fonda's video puts the band in a white room, cut with stop-motion seagulls.
