New Music: Victim Of Luck

           

Metric have announced their new album, Romanticize The Dive due April 24 via Thirty Tigers, and shared their first single, "Victim Of Luck." Emily Haines said about the single: The song ‘Victim Of Luck’ and really the entire album is about the romance of a less than perfect life. It’s about dropping the mask of self-consciousness and vanity. The disarming first track album opener doubles as a mission statement, tracing the band back to their early days and revisiting, re-examining the tension, vulnerability, and hunger of youth. Through the lens of hindsight, Metric return to where it all began, with lead singer Emily Haines opening the band’s tenth studio album with these lines: singing:, “Let me take you back, it was the start of something, I was there not long before all the stardom. Now I’m in front of you and all I’m seeing is all my flaws. I was a starving artist but I was fearless. Now I don’t know what we are, frightened of heights we knew, scared to go too far, how I might look to you. Now who have I become, trash that mirror let my black mascara run.” The video has been directed by Fezz & Chess.
