SummersRadio™ New Music! Metric - 'Cascades'

Metric have just released a new song online called 'Cascades'! 'Cascades' is from their forthcoming new album (their sixth) called 'Pagans In Vegas' which is set for release on September 18th on the Crystal Math Music label. You can pre-order the album now on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/pagans-in-vegas/id996749166 

                   

'Cascades' is far more electronic than the first official (and rather drab in comparison) single 'The Shade'. The band describe the track on Facebook as 'the pounding heart of our new album'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Emily Haines!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Emily Haines - 'Lightning Strikes'

Emily Haines has released a new song called 'Lightning Strikes'! 'Lightning Strikes' is featured in a new commercial for GoldieBlox - a toy company that aims to introduce girls to engineering. Goldieblox was started via Kickstarter to inspire girls to enter the fields of math and science which are traditionally geared towards boys. The song is apparently available now on iTunes although it hasn`t showed up in my searches yet.

                  

'Lightning Strikes' sounds more like Emily Haines's work with Metric than her solo material (moreso) with The Soft Skeleton... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Metric - 'Speed The Collapse'

Metric have just released another new song from their forthcoming album online today! Metric release their fifth studio album called 'Synthetica' on June 12th and while not an official single 'Speed The Collapse' has been released online today as a sneak preview. You can revisit the album's first official single 'Youth Without Youth' here: http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2012/04/summersradio-new-music-metric.html

'Synthetica' is available for pre-order now on itunes - featuring five bonus track songs called 'Reflections'. It will also be available physically on cd, on numbered limited double coloured white vinyl from their official website (http://ilovemetric.com/) and there's even a super limited 'Stereobox' version (which sadly has already sold out) that features a custom made 3D viewer.

The band are currently shooting a video for 'Youth Without Youth' and they posted this great photo of singer Emily Haines from the session looking rather intense on their Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/metric) earlier today:

                      

For now the band have released another lyric video for the sneak peak of 'Speed The Collapse' - one of eleven songs on the new album - which also features a collaboration with the artist who wrote yesterday's featured song 'I'll Be Your Mirror' - the Velvet Underground's Lou Reed on a track called 'The Wanderlust'! 

This is the third track on 'Synthetica' called 'Speed The Collapse'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Metric - 'Youth Without Youth'

Toronto's Metric are releasing their brand new single 'Youth Without Youth' online tomorrow! 'Youth Without Youth' is the first single from their forthcoming fifth studio album called 'Synthetica', which is set to be released on June 12th. Like 2009's fantastic 'Fantasies' album 'Synthetica' will be released on their own Metric Music International label. The single will be available on itunes tomorrow and I reckon through their official website as well: http://www.ilovemetric.com/

                     

This Soundcloud clip also contains a two and a half minute commentary about the evolution of the song itself from singer Emily Haines and guitarist Jimmy Shaw. They've gone for what they call a '70's sleaze' sound here - upfront guitars with heavy drums. I love Emily Haines voice so much I could buy an album just of her speaking :)

This is Metric's new single 'Youth Without Youth'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix + Free Download! Metric!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Metric - 'Gold Guns Girls' (RIOT 87 Remix) Toronto's Metric announced their 'Fantasies' remix contest in conjunction with Indaba Music at the end of September and we're now a mere two weeks away from the winners being announced! There's an individual contest for each track on the album and each winner receives $1,000 cash - and most likely an official release as Metric is considering releasing a full remix album as well! As one of Metric's biggest fans it's hard to believe that it's been two whole months since I've posted any remixes - so it's certainly time for a new one!

This one is currently sitting in first place for 'Gold Guns Girls' - by Serbian duo RIOT 87 - and I must say it rocks! If this remix is to your liking you can download a copy for free here courtesy of Riot 87: http://www.mediafire.com/?yr7dxw1eaixv56e Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Bonus Remix! Metric!

SummersRadio™ 2 For 1 Remix Sunday! Metric - 'Twilight Galaxy' (Matomik Remix) This is an interesting take on the song - Matomik says he was going for 'a more soft emotional feel' on this remix - and it works! The added piano makes it sound more like a ballad - but not in a cheesy way - in a more romantic sincere way I think. And as a bonus the remixer is super cute! :) Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Metric!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Metric - 'Twilight Galaxy' (Dave LeBon Remix) I must say that I think that artists having remix contests is one of the best new things to happen to the music scene in some time. Everybody wins - regardless of who wins! Remixers get a chance to show their skills - the band gets all kinds of new perspectives on their songs - often from a full spectrum of sub-genres. Then when they release a collection of them we get a chance to buy the top quality chosen winners, and then on top of that there's all kinds of other remixes out there that you can download.

And so it is with Metric and their current contest to remix tracks from their 'Fantasies' album. There's a tonne of mixes out there so there's a lot to wade through to find the most postworthy ones. I love Metric so it's a challenge not to post one everyday - this is only my third in as many weeks! So far I've gone with Krusha's remix of 'Help I'm Alive' and the awesome DJ JMP remix of 'Stadium Love'. There's another mix of 'Twilight Galaxy' currently making the rounds on the big blogs by The Gripp, but I like this one more. This is the Dave LeBon Remix - quite suitable for a laid back semi-sunny Sunday afternoon! 'I'm higher than high Lower than deep'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Rarity! Metric!

SummersRadio™ Rarity! Metric - 'It's A Sin' One of my current favorite bands covers a song by one of my all time favorite artists - and I like it... go figure!! This is currently unreleased and was performed as part of a live cover session for the European music streaming company Spotify. Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! + Free Download! Metric - 'Stadium Love' (DJ JMP Remix) As mentioned in a previous post, Metric currently has a remix contest on for their latest album 'Fantasies'. This is perhaps my favorite track from the album - it totally should have been a single - but it's taken on a life of it's own as the signature tune to end their shows with! This is DJ JMP's remix of 'Stadium Love' - and if it's to your liking you can also download a free copy of it from the link below... Enjoy!
