Metro Area At Juno Download

Review: A new digital release is as good an excuse as any for a reappraisal of the glorious sound of Metro Area. With the first four EPs taking a lot of the limelight for comprising the MA album, 5 and 6 in the 12" series are well-deserving of a second outing. As with all their output, Messrs Geist and Jesrani craft immaculate, warm and heartfelt disco-house nuggets devoid of any of the negative association that genre tag might imply. "Nerves" is a masterclass in uplifting but sorrowful strings, while "Proton Candy" is all quirky Italo flavour. "Honey Circuit" meanwhile sports a punchier electro strut, and "Things Fall" shows the modern contingent how to really do analogue deep house.
