Metric preview seventh album with gritty music video for 'Dark Saturday': Watch
Candian indie-rockers Metric are returning later this summer with their first album since 2015. The as-yet-untitled follow up to 'Pagans in Vegas' is due for release on September 21 through MMI/Crystal Math Music.
The upcoming album spans a total of 12 tracks and marks the Canadian indie rockers’ seventh full-length effort to date. It also marks the first time in a decade where Metric has worked with outside producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen (M83, Nine Inch Nails) rather than the band’s own guitarist/producer, Jimmy Shaw.
“Justin was just what we needed in a producer for this album,” Shaw explained in a statement. “He really saw every band member eye to eye and was able to capture what we each do best. It was something I realized I couldn’t do at this stage, having been in the band for so long. We were finally able to focus on just playing again, as we did at the start. Making this album brought us together in a way we hadn’t been for quite some time and I think you can hear it in the music.”
