metronomy is one of those bands that had to take time to grow on me. some of their songs are hit or miss but heartbreaker is one of my favorites. I fell in love with it last august, after being forced to listen to an entire metronomy album. this song will probably always remind me of walking home at 1 AM in the pouring rain, having to crash with friends for a month until the lease I snatched up for this killer apartment would finally be mine. sounds kinda depressing, but it was actually one of the best summers I’ve ever had.

fast forward to this august, I’m happily settled into my apartment, stumbling upon the video for heartbreaker on youtube. any video that features a car with curtains and a bird cage in the back seat is worthy of a blog post on bumblesea.
