Metronomy – She Wants

UK electronic group Metronomy have just released this video to their new single She Wants.

The video follows the female protagonist around a party with some technical camera trickery and some inspired feats of creativity such as real time freeze frame - in other words, people standing really still!

The song itself evokes the downbeat vein of The Cure, complete with an almost aquatic bassline.

The sonically-versatile group has previous done remixes for the likes of Goldfrapp, Gorillaz and CSS and produced the sublime Let the Spirit by Roots Manuva.

'She Wants' is available on free download from January 31.
