It's not very often that a band comes along and surprises you. You know the kind. It's the sound that's interwoven into moments that you'll always remember because you can see the places and faces that co-authored the soundtrack of your life. Please listen to Metric in high-fidelity, compromise with no other surrounding...no lower than Bose! Finally, prepare for your own moment via a punch in the gut compliments of Emily Haines. Don't dare underestimate her.
Find the album- 'Fantasies' and listen carefully in a place that you can appreciate. I'm confident you will hear what I'm trying to delicately describe. Follow this experience with 'Grow Up and Blow Away'. It'll take you back and remind you that the time is now and be young for life. How's your gut?
Don't let this music grow on you because otherwise you've already thought too hard. Metric's songs are ambitious and bold. Just as you start sizing them up and placing them into a category, you discover you can't. And here lies the artistry. Now run out and get the album 'Live It Out' next. The third Act is always the best.
Here's a sound that you think you've heard a million times...but arranged in a different way? The lyrics are strong, familiar, and particularly diverse. Metric's songs are interesting. Perhaps in a way that reminds you of another song, or even worse a genre... But listen long enough and the surprises start to bloom... like Seattle in June. Lyrics start catching on and you fall in love with not an arrangement... but a voice. A smart, passionate woman that you know and feel. It's a leap, but if you can't appreciate this voice, then you need to break all your mirrors. It's not about you. It's about us. All for one and one for all. Fall in love with the sound of Metric...ok, maybe you don't take this seriously, fine...Fall in like.
Help, your alive!
