Metric share new single 'Nothing Is Perfect'

With their highly-anticipated new album landing in the coming months, Metric have now dropped the next cut to be lifted from their forthcoming full-length.

The new single 'Nothing Is Perfect' comes accompanied by a stunning new video, directed by Justin Broadbent, and follows on from the previously shared lead track 'Just The Once' in previewing their new LP 'Formentera II', which is out on the 13th October.

Speaking about the new offering, the band's Emily Haines said, “‘Nothing Is Perfect’ stands out on Formentera II as the lone track that is carried by only acoustic guitar and vocals. We explored many renditions of this song during the recording process, but in the end found that everything we tried adding seemed to detract from the essence of it. Lyrically, ‘Nothing Is Perfect’ takes the common expression away from its usual meaning, giving substance to "nothing" as a concrete thing that can be actively pursued and obtained: Nothing is perfect/ I've earned it/ All absence achieved/ No fences, no exits, no lies. For the official music video, we worked with Justin Broadbent to create an atmospheric and surreal visual accompaniment to enhance the otherworldly mood of the song, with stylistic nods to Terrence Malick and David Lynch. The song ends with a meditative and anthemic repetition of the word "nothing", like I'm celebrating it and singing its praises. I love nothing!”
