Pip Paine (Pay the £5000 You Owe)
Pip Paine (Pay the £5000 You Owe) is the debut album by the British electronic act Metronomy, originally released on 14 February 2005 by Holiphonic Records in the UK.[2] On first release, 500 copies were produced with the CD in a special cloth case with an illustration by the artist Rose de Borman. It was later reissued in June 2006 in standard gatefold card format with a plain text cover. In April 2013, a limited edition vinyl with the original embossed fabric casing and artwork was released. The name of the album comes from a vehicle wrecker named Adrian Broadway, who lived in producer Joseph Mount's town of Totnes who claimed he was owed money by a man called Pip Paine. The wrecker would leave wrecked cars around Totnes along with the proclamation "Pip Paine, Pay The £5000 You Owe".[3] A hearse was often seen parked opposite Totnes railway station with this message painted on the side. Joseph describes the album as "the sound of someone living in a musically redundant place trying to make exciting music."[4] Mount was influenced by an eclectic group of artists whilst he wrote the album, including Frank Zappa, Aphex Twin, LFO, Talking Heads, Les Rythmes Digitales and Kraftwerk.[5] Track listingAll tracks are written by Joseph Mount.
