METRIC - Romanticize The Dive (Indie Exclusive) (Metallic Silver Lp)

Metric’s relentless pursuit of timeless songwriting and fiercely independent ethos have
cemented their place as one of the most essential and ahead-of-the-curve bands of the last
two decades. The trailblazing Toronto outfit was founded by songwriting and production
partners Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw, along with bandmates Joshua Winstead and Joules
Scott Key. Though both were also founding members of the influential and sprawling
Canadian indie rock outfit Broken Social Scene, Metric was always the top priority, and
shortly after they met and cemented their mission, they left Toronto for New York in search
of like-minded artists. There, they found themselves at the center of the city’s burgeoning
indie sleaze scene alongside bands like LCD Soundsystem, The Strokes, TV On the Radio,
Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol.
Their 10th studio album Romanticize The Dive harkens back to the free spirit of that era,
kicking off with Haines nostalgically imploring the listener to “let me take you back, it was the
start of something...” before pulling back the curtain on a band that has consistently stayed
true to each other and their ethics for decades. In a tribute to lifelong friendship, the album
also reunites the dream team behind their 2009 breakout album Fantasies at Electric Lady
Studios in New York. All at once a heartfelt reflection on their history, a celebratory gift to
those who have been along for the ride, and an outstretched hand to new fans, Romanticize
The Dive is another testament to the band’s unwavering love for each other and their
insatiable desire to push themselves as artists.
