Metronomy - Small World (Special Edition) (2022) [Hi-Res]

Metronomy released Small World at the start of 2022, and will release a special edition of the album to cap off the year on November 29. It comes with a bonus disc featuring every track off the album remixed or entirely reworked/rerecorded by a host of friends and fellow artists, including Sebastien Tellier, Katy J Pearson, Bolis Pupul, Jessica Winter and more. Check out the full tracklist below.

Two songs have been released off the Small World Special Edition so far, and both are great: Katy J Person reworks "Love Factory" into a dreamy duet with Metronomy's Joe Mount, and even better, Jessica Winter takes psych-rock track "I Lost My Mind" and refashions it as dancefloor-filling cosmic disco.

Katy says of "Love Factory": "I wanted to strip it down to basics and make it a vulnerable duet. I’d been listening to a lot of Nancy Lee & Lee Hazlewood at the time so making it a pop duet felt really fun to do. Shooting the video was also so so fun and I have a big connection to south hams so having footage of the landscape of south Devon with me and Joe’s performance around it felt really special!"

Meanwhile, Jessica says of "I Lost My Mind": “As soon as I heard the held high notes in the chorus I thought the song could go in a Kylie direction; the key change at the end then went quite ABBA. Everything on the track was made from analogue synths and drum machines and there’s real strings on there too; if you listen closely you can hear a hook pinched from a different track on Metronomy’s latest album. 👀”
