In 1998, songwriting & production duo Emily Haines & Jimmy Shaw formed Metric & left Toronto for NYC in search of like-minded artists. In '01/'02, they were joined by drummer Joules Scott Key & bassist Joshua Winstead, & found themselves at the center of the city’s burgeoning alt-rock scene alongside bands like LCD Soundsystem, The Strokes, TV On the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol & more. Metric’s relentless pursuit of timeless songwriting & fiercely independent ethos have cemented their place as one of the most essential & ahead-of-the-curve bands of the last two decades; the trailblazing Toronto outfit is proof that you can amass an untouchable catalog without signing to a major label or changing your lineup. Their latest LP, Formentera II, out now via their label MMI & Thirty Tigers, is a testament to their singular purpose. It stands among their best and most genre-defying work & closes the 18-song cycle started by 2022’s critically acclaimed Formentera.
Por está canción conocí metric, la neta para el que ande leyendo, que también se escuche otros albums, como fantasies o grow up and blow away, esta banda es una joya
Fascinating to see and notice how memories are created or how association in your brain works. This song will always take me back to the peak of the corona pandemic. This song somehow made it to my list and i played the list during work. Each time i hear this song i see myself sitting at my desk at home. Sorry, ramblings of an old fool
Why do I discover this song after 12 years First I listened to underwater by metric than I click on this song love it They got it , they wanted they gave it away ….
I just read the lyrics from genius; 'I can feel it in my bones' where it is intimacy that is better 'left unknown' in which this intimacy is a fantasy yet this fantasy is my hope, my naiveté, and is what I understood 'made me human' or realistic. Ironically, I felt that since the summer of 2021.
Satellite Mind. I listened to Fantasies growing up, though my family always skipped that song. One day I was looking back and found the album and finally heard it and thought it was great. From there I listened through the rest of Metric's albums and found so much more good music.
