Metric
Youth Without Youth

Metric Music International

WE SAY

With a hypnotic glam groove and alluring vocal, Metric's return heralds a strong offering with this grandioso single. Their previous album was a big breakthrough for the Canadian band; globally self-released, Fantasies sold well over a million singles and nearly 500,000 albums across all territories. As we approach the release of forthcoming longplayer Synthetica (June 25), lead single Youth Without Youth has debuted at No.1 on the Canadian Alternative Airplay chart and is worthy of making a splash in the UK with a sound that could well be the indie love child of Supernature era Goldfrapp and the more recent Muse sound that has seen them fill arenas.

London Gig: July 2, Shepherd's Bush Empire W12 // July 6, Wireless Festival W1
