Summer 08

"Summer 08 is frontloaded with meaty grooves and Mount's signature wit. The album slows down and becomes more pensive on its backend, but it is still one hell of a pop record with a pretty novel concept residing at its core. Mount remains an exceptional musical craftsman, who continues to shift and change and toy with his formula, which is proven to result in fun listens like Summer 08".

"While it might lack the chaotic charm of Nights Out, or the lush, well-rounded sound of The English Riviera, it makes up for that by simply being fun. It's clear that Joe Mount is making this record just for him. A breather from all the mayhem of his life, a time to reflect and just chill. He could've just taken a break and basked in the Metronomy glory, but that's just not how he works - and we're all the more glad for that".
