This Summer 08 track finds Metronomy frontman Joe Mount duetting with Swedish songstress Robyn. An early draft of the tune was recorded for The English Riviera but it has only now realized its full potential.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on his Beats 1 show, Joe Mount paid tribute to Robyn. "She's just got this incredible singular voice in pop music and you hear it now everywhere," he said. "You hear it in Lorde and Taylor Swift songs. She started this thing which is everywhere now. I love her voice and to have it on my music feels good." "From what I understand she got involved in pop music from 16 years old," he continued. "I think she took those experiences and decided that she wanted to be a boss, basically, and since then has been in control of everything." "You hear that in all of her records, it's just a very direct sound," Mount concluded. "It's also this Swedish pop thing, which I was trying to speak to her about. There's this incredible history of Swedish pop music and, there you go, they've done it again."
To hang somebody out to dry means to leave them in a dangerous or perilous situation such as When he lost the order, his bosses simply hung him out to dry. The expression alludes to hanging wet laundry on a clothesline, which is left flapping in the wind.
