Metric: Grow Up And Blow Away (rec. 2001)


 Getting psyched for tomorrow’s arrival of Formentera II by going all the way back to the beginning. In some respects this sounds very different from the band they grew to be but it is still unmistakably Metric. This album actually wound up sitting in the can for a few years, finally coming out after their second album, Live It Out, started to make a splash. Good thing it did because this record is fantastic. 

Metric is one of those bands that never sounds out of sync with the times but also sounds like no other band on earth and that is made abundantly clear from the outset and that is why, over two decades later, they are still very much their own band.
