In 1998, songwriting & production duo Emily Haines & Jimmy Shaw formed Metric and left Toronto forNYC in search of like-minded artists. In 2001/2002, they were joined by drummer Joules Scott Key &bassist Joshua Winstead, and found themselves at the center of the city’s burgeoning alt-rock scenealongside bands like LCD Soundsystem, The Strokes, TV On the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol andmore. Unlike their peers, Metric resisted major label offers, releasing albums that pushed boundaries ontheir own terms. Metric’s relentless pursuit of timeless songwriting and fiercely independent ethos havecemented their place as one of the most essential and ahead-of-the-curve bands of the last two decades.By constantly upping themselves across nine unpredictable and adventurous studio albums, thetrailblazing Toronto outfit founded by Emily Haines & Jimmy Shaw is proof that you can amass anuntouchable catalog without signing to a major label or changing your lineup. Their latest LP, FormenteraII, out October 13 via their label MMI & Thirty Tigers, is a testament to their singular purpose. It standsamong their best and most genre-defying work and closes the 18-song cycle started by 2022’s criticallyacclaimed Formentera.
