Metric

Metric is an Canadian indie rock band that formed in Toronto in 1998. Needless to say they have been around the block and back again. Today marks the release of their fifth studio album entitled "Synthetica".

My thoughts? Leader singer Emily Haines continues to write the most intimately metaphorical lyrics that are perfectly placed upon beautiful piano parts. While seemingly flawless in their raw form these songs are all the more addicting in their electronic alternative state that the band sculpts them into.

Watch the music video for the single "Youth Without Youth":

 Also, check out the band's Mahogany Session including songs off their new album:



  

Metric - Eclipse

I have had this song on repeat for days, finding it very fitting to the place I am at in my life right now. The original is an amazing track but nothing compares to the the rawness and emotion of the acoustic version.

From one of my favorite bands (I'll probably be posting more Metric in the future) comes one of my favorite songs written for a movie soundtrack:

Metric - Eclipse [All Yours] (Acoustic) by elmoudy

I also love the beginning of the song's official music video.


Okay okay so just because this song was written for the 3rd movie of the Twilight series does not degrade its excellence.
