Metric announce new album 'Formentera II'

Following on from their highly-praised LP 'Formentera' last year, Metric have now announced a follow-up collection for their latest release.

The new full-length 'Formentera II' was recorded primarily at the band’s own Main Street Studios in a rural hamlet outside Toronto from 2020-2022, is being previewed by the new lead single 'Just The Once', and is set to be released on the 13th October via Metric Music International/Thirty Tigers.

Speaking about the new offering, the band's Emily Haines said, “The only way I can describe “Just The Once” is to call it regret disco. It's a song for when you need to dance yourself clean. Beneath the sparkling surface, there’s a lyrical exploration of a simple word with many meanings. Once is a word that plays a game of opposites. Once can mean once-upon-a-time and refer to a moment in the past, or it can mean someday, once something happens. And as for doing something only once versus doing something once in a while, well, I think we all know how vast the difference is between the two.”
