Metric slakes our thirst for more

text: Ari Sommer / photos: Justin Broadbent

Metric, having already won us over with this year’s Fantasies release, continues to woo with a new acoustic EP. We’ve embedded a player below so you can check it out, and we hope you enjoy the slightly more laid-back grooves. Make sure you check out their tour dates as well; I, for one, am looking forward to the Boston date in late November. When will they be through your little hamlet?

Aan was amazing.

I’d like to clarify that for this show they cut off the back half of Neumo’s floor with a curtain and had the upstairs bar closed. It made Neumo’s obviously seem much smaller than it is. Unfortunately, now having seen Neumo’s fully open at another show I can say that this show was very empty. Still White Denim and Brazos rocked.

I agree, it’s very good. Way to deflate their balloon.

Love the photos. And that “Walkabout” song is the drugs.
