Metric - Synthetica

Their fifth full-length studio album 'Synthetica' is sonically futuristic yet organic. This album sounds like the culmination of all the music the band has made in their 10 years together.

First single 'Youth Without Youth' examines the fraying social state with a bristling energy and a driving Gary Glitter beat. 'Breathing Underwater' and 'Speed the Collapse' both deliver on the classic Metric chorus of soaring melancholy, while the lyrics for 'Lost Kitten' and 'Clone' call out some bad behavior and the consequences.

Hard rocking title track 'Synthetica' offers an epic conclusion to suspenseful album opener 'Artificial Noctune'.
