My heart is a metronome took shape three years ago as singer and guitarist Mattis Malinens solo project. After recording the EP “Sketches” on his own, the solo project grew into a band when he was joined by Gustaf Simonsson on bass and Felix Carlsten on drums.

Deep in the woods of Södermanland, a province on the south eastern coast of Sweden, they recorded their self-produced EP “The Colouring”. The unique sound immediately made an impact in Swedish media. Among other things, the radio show P3 Osignat (Unsigned), about the best unsigned bands, had their single “The Whistler” as number one for several consecutive weeks.

As a result of the their success they got scouted by Spinnup Universal, which in turn led to them being signed by Substitute Music Group, a newly started, independent record label.

The first single recorded through Substitute Music Group was “Turtle”, later joined by a re-recorded version of “The Whistler”.

The band also visited Musikhjälpen, a musical event that aims to gather funds for a worthy cause, along side many established artists.

In 2015 the band spent a lot of time rehearsing and writing new songs, but also appeared at the festival “Where’s the Music” and made a guest appearance during the international Record Store Day in Stockholm.
