Small World

Joseph Mount:

Often, I want to do the opposite of what I’ve just done. I wanted to be really musically focused and concise.”

The way I made music during the pandemic was to escape from feeling like I was in a pandemic. This album is designed to be listened to when you’re free.

When I first started writing songs, I imagined I was a producer and that, one day, I would get a female singer to sing them. I would always sing in a falsetto voice and really high up. Even though it was never necessarily comfortable, it’s just what I did. This was me trying to be a bit more mature. I want to grow up with Metronomy. You’ve got to develop it and turn it into what you want it to be.
