Combining the talents of Metronomy with those from Robyn, “Hang Me Out To Dry” has been accompanied by a new music video. The track is featured on the current
Metronomy album Summer 08, released on July 1, 2016 through Because Music.

Directed by Paris / Montreal filmmaking collective Dent de Cuir (The Shoes, Darwin Deez, Modeselektor), the video follows the tumultuous emotions of a woman who finds that her car reminds her of a failed relationship.

Dent de Cuir commented: “A great man of cinema once said: ‘All you need to make a movie is a girl and a gun.’ We just swapped the gun for a car.This concept offered a great metaphor: love is just a car ride. But let’s cut the crap here, we did all of this for one reason: to put a check mark over ‘burning a 70s Dodge Aspen’ on our bucket list. We were surprised to see how simple it was to play with the practical image distortions on a car, and we also learnt that firefighters are the most efficient pyromaniacs in the world.”

“Hang Me Out To Dry” was originally written during sessions for Metronomy’s Mercury Prize-nominated album English Riviera in 2011 but only recently reached its full potential when Mount revisited the track and enlisted Robyn’s expertise.
