Pip Paine (Pay The £5000 You Owe) is the debut album by the British electronic act Metronomy, originally released in 2006 by Holiphonic Records in the UK. On first release, 500 copies were produced with the CD in a special cloth case. It was later released in standard gatefold card format. 　　The name of the album comes from a car wrecker who lived in Joseph's town of Totnes who 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". 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." 　　Joe was influenced by a very eclectic group of artists whilst he wrote the album, including Frank Zappa, Aphex Twin, LFO, Talking Heads, Les Rythmes Digitales and Kraftwerk.
