Metronomy Forever
2019 studio album by Metronomy
Metronomy Forever is the sixth studio album by English electronic music band Metronomy. The album was preceded by four singles; "Lately", "Salted Caramel Ice Cream", "Walking in the Dark", and "Wedding Bells". Each single was released with a music video, the first three being directed by band frontman Joseph Mount, and "Wedding Bells" being directed by Ben Hanratty. The album was released on 13 September 2019 by Because Music.
Two more songs received music videos after the album's release; "Insecurity" on 13 November 2019, and "Whitsand Bay" on 21 February 2020.
Production and Recording
The majority of the album was written and recorded by Mount while moving from Paris to Kent with his family. While his new home did feature a recording studio, Mount said the album was "kind of done" by the time it was ready. However, after an underwhelming response from his record label, he reworked the material he had into what shows up on the final album. Joseph began work on this album shortly after his work on Robyn's 2018 album Honey, having co-written and co-produced several songs on that record. His experience on that album greatly influenced his outlook and mindset going into Forever.

Why this record matters
The phrase “2019 studio album by Metronomy” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q67887170. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2019, 2020 and 2018.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
