Metronomy relive their teenage years in Juliet Casella and Thibaut Caesar's warmly nostalgic video for Things Will Be Fine. 

Band frontman Joseph Mount describes the video as “a sort of pseudo role-play therapy session in which we all re-visit our teenage selves.” And as such the five bandmembers each have their own well-observed vignette, recreating the byegone age of the late Nineties/early Noughties, reflecting on some of their childhood ambitions and dreams. 

So we see Metronomy revisit old social media platforms (on a first-gen iMac), first-time attempts at shaving, saving a guinea pig on the loose, and suffering from teen ennui - all unfolding within the same house. It's glued together by a band performance, which also has the feel of a teen band try-out, in the living room.

With a concept that flows directly from the song's lyrics, the video delivers on bringing those themes to life in way that's pitch-perfect for the band. The art direction and set design are top-notch, as are the performances. It makes for a memorable, charming video - and confirms a fairly evident fact that Metronomy are a marvellous video band.

But apparently, making this video did take its toll. Joseph Mount concludes: “Everyone ended up more scarred than they did before making it - apart from Michael [Lovett] and his fucking guinea pigs.” And that's that.
