With their third full-length album, 2011's 'The English Riviera', British band Metronomy transitioned from garish electro-pop to a sleek, sophisticated sound that's as much Steely Dan as Daft Punk. Our guest, Scottish singer/songwriter and producer Joshua Mackenzie (The Joshua Hotel, Lional), found inspiration for his own music in leader Joseph Mount's lush-yet-quirky songs about - among other things - his hometown of Torbay in Devon that make up this beguiling record. "You're up, but you'll get down You're never running from this town... This town's the oldest friend of mine"
