For all its eclectic hipster trendiness, Metronomy's Mercury nominated The English Riviera didn't half have its blinding all out pop moments. And of those, Corinne is without doubt one of the best - an early Depeche Mode styled jaunt, it positively drips 80s synthpop influences.
With the band at their most playful, Metronomy come loose amidst the ether of the bleep-laden-soundwaves before diving into a rich pool of funky Spandau Ballet guitar riffs - it's deliciously funky, quirky to the point of colour-bursting brilliance, and most importantly, summarises within one song everything that made The English Riviera one of the albums of 2011.
Corinne is released on the 27th February.
