Metric has returned with 2 new singles and album news! High fives and fist bumps.

But first this joke:
Q: What do Martians who use the Metric System say?
A: Take me to your Liter!

Awful, just awful. I ask for your forgiveness.

Now the good news:
Metric’s LP Pagans in Vegas arrives on September 18.

Album preorders include a curious time capsule package and a cassette version of The Shade. Fun, yo.

The Shade makes me shake shake my booty…

Metric says: “Cascades is the song we consider the pounding heart of our new album.”

Lastly heed Metric’s sage advice: “As always, we encourage you to sing along with the robots. Just keep…going strong…with whatever it is…that’s compelling you on.”
