UK pop act Metronomy are to unveil new single I’m Aquarius via The Night Sky smartphone app.
The Night Sky allows users to identify stars, constellations and planets by pointing their phones at the sky. The app will then create a replication of the sky and name any visible landmarks.
I’m Aquarius, written by Metronomy main man Joseph Mount, will be available on the app from 19:00 on Monday 11 November for one week.
According to the band, all app users will receive an update they need to activate. Then, once activated, they need to scan the sky looking for the Aquarius constellation.
Users will then be able to listen to the record by clicking on the constellation itself after it has been found.
The new release is the band’s first material in 18 months and follows 2011’s The English Riviera.
The album, the band’s third, went on to receive a nomination for the Mercury Music Prize.
