Metric have announced their 10th album, Romanticize the Dive, due out April 24 via Thirty Tigers. They returned to NYC’s Electric Lady to record it, working again with producer Gavin Brown, co-producers Jimmy Shaw and Liam O’Neil, and mix engineer John O’Mahoney. See the cover art and tracklist below.
The first single and opening track is “Victim of Luck.” Emily Haines says, “The song ‘Victim Of Luck’ and really the entire album is about the romance of a less than perfect life. It’s about dropping the mask of self-consciousness and vanity. It was a long journey for me to get out of my own way and I wanted this song to be a rallying cry for that, better late than never. You can be as much a victim of good luck as bad. So when we started out yes we were broke and we were playing to ten people and there was nothing for us to fall back on but we refused to give up, and it’s not as though we’re all superstar billionaires now, but that was never what we were after. It turns out the grind is the thing you wouldn’t trade and the bonds you made can’t be faked. What we wanted is what we have and we’re not victims of anything. We dedicated our lives to each other and it’s the best feeling in the world.” Hear it below (the video premieres at 12 PM ET).
Metric will be on tour with longtime friends and collaborators Broken Social Scene (who also just announced a new album) and Stars this summer, including NYC’s Brooklyn Paramount on July 30. Tickets to that and all dates go on sale Friday, February 6 at 10 AM local, with various presales starting Wednesday, February 4 at 12 PM local. See all dates below.
