Metropolis

And so we pack up our tents and make a retreat to confines of indoors. Metropolis has anchored itself on the bank holiday weekend. Villagers, Roisin Murphy, Grandbrothers and The Black Madonna make it to the city after appearing at All Together Now, its sister festival which made a very promising debut. And while we really do love Mac DeMarco too, it’s Blood Orange who win the mantle of Most Anticipated. Polymath Dev Hynes has produced Solange and FKA Twigs, had previous incarnations as Test Icicles and Lightspeed Champion and co-written one of the singles of the century, Everything is Embarrassing, with Sky Ferreria. Negro Swan sees Hynes bring a new-wave R&B game to the table. It’s one he’s summarised thematically as “black depression” but that is somewhat bleak of the recorded mark. Here’s hoping the Metropolads will leave a little room for pensiveness amid the bangers and the Negro Swans in their lives.
