Description
The stomp-and-clap charge of Youth Without Youth hits harder here, fuzz bass snarling under Emily Haines’ cool bite. Metric’s Synthetica is their sleek 2012 synth-rock pivot, where sharp hooks meet chrome edges without losing the band’s indie backbone. Artificial Nocturne opens like a smouldering confession before kicking into motion, while Breathing Underwater lifts with one of their most durable choruses. On this LP, the low end sits deeper and the synth layers breathe with more space, giving guitars and keys a clearer handshake.
There’s a sharp cameo too: Lou Reed turns up on The Wanderlust, gruff against Haines’ midnight glow. File it next to Yeah Yeah Yeahs on your shelf, though Metric lean more neon and meticulously wired than garage-raw. It’s a tidy play for a late tram across Melbourne or a focused Sunday clean, steady energy with just enough menace.
If you’d rather order online, you can buy Metric records online with us. Packaging is clean and the artwork suits the cool, metallic palette of the music. Sequencing flows well across sides, so you’re not yanked out of the mood mid-arc. Fans coming from Fantasies will find the momentum intact, just colder lights and tighter lines.
Available to buy online with quick delivery Australia wide, or pick it up in our Melbourne record store.
