They’re not many bands out there who can say that they excel at challenging listeners, let alone themselves. But legendary Canadian indie band Metric have done just that and the proof is all over their latest offering, Formentera; the band's 8th album. Named after an idyllic island off the coast of Spain, the album explores that universal desire to escape from the madness of life. But is that even possible, especially during a time where so much is in our faces, 24/7? Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw join me on the first summer bonus episode that’ll bridge seasons 4 and 5 (which begins in September). Metric will be touring North America extensively this summer and autumn, be sure to visit ilovemetric.com for all tour dates.
