Canadian indie-rock band Metric have announced a UK tour for July, in support of forthcoming new album 'Synthetica'. Tickets for Metric are onsale now.
Metric have seen a definite rise to fame since their 2003 debut, 'Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?'. In October 2011, vocalist Emily Haines announced that the band was nearing completion of their fifth studio album.
Earlier this year, Metric announced that the album, titled 'Synthetica', is set for release on 12th June in North America. The Haines posted details of the album on their website: "'Synthetica' is about staying home and wanting to crawl out of your skin from the lack of external stimulation...about forcing yourself to confront what you see in the mirror when you finally stand still long enough to catch a reflection...about being able to identify the original in a long line of reproductions. It's about what is real vs what is artificial."
Metric will release the album's first single, 'Youth Without Youth', on 8th May. The album also contains a collaboration with Lou Reed on 'The Wanderlust.'
'Synthetica' track-listing is as follows:
1. Artificial Nocturne
2. Youth Without Youth
3. Speed the Collapse
4. Breathing Underwater
5. Dreams So Real
6. Lost Kitten
7. The Void
