Love Is the Drug - Andy Mackay + The Metaphors

The Metaphors are a unique instrumental group with vocals, gathered to extend the sax, oboe and wind synth playing of Andy Mackay of Roxy Music.

Falling into no obvious existing genres, this post-rock combo crosses experimental, electronic, ambient, classical, jazz and R&B; with Roxy's Paul Thompson on drums, Julia Thornton on concert harp, Bristol-based experimentalists TJ Allen on guitar and laptop, and classical avant-garde influenced Hazel Mills on piano and vocal loops.

Andy Mackay + The Metaphors started performing in early 2008, expanding their repertoire to include material by the Velvet Underground, Roxy Music, Radiohead and others. The album 'London! Paris! New York! Rome!' is now available.
