Metric

High-gloss indie rock that pairs neon-lit synthesizers with jagged guitars. A definitive document of urban anxiety and late-night metropolitan energy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The rhythmic, heartbeat-mimicking synth pulse that opens Help I'm Alive.
The transition from the sparse, atmospheric bridge into the explosive final chorus of Blindness.
The shimmering, almost psychedelic synth wash that anchors the mid-section of Twilight Galaxy.
