METRIC - FORMENTERA II

Facts Vinyl LP pressing. 2023 release. Metric's relentless pursuit of timeless songwriting and fiercely independent ethos have cemented 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, the trailblazing Toronto outfit founded by songwriting and production partners Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw along with bandmates Joshua Winstead and Joules Scott Key is proof that you can amass an untouchable catalog without ever signing to a major label or changing your lineup. Formentera II is a testament to their singular purpose. It stands among their best and most genre-defying work and closes the 18-song cycle started by 2022's critically acclaimed Formentera.
