Frank Yang Ideally, I'd have been able to label this one as " Metric covers Neil Young ", given that both acts are in town this week making sure the Air Canada Centre is still hosting some serious Canadiana even with the NHL locked out, but that wouldn't be quite correct. Even though Metric as a full band can officially include the Young-penned classic "Expecting To Fly" in their discography, the track I'm posting predates that by a good five years or so when frontwoman Emily Haines was operating as a solo artist and [...]
The SOTO inbox is always full of cool stuff that never gets to see the light of day on the actual site, and I’d like to change that. So, every Friday I’ll be posting the best album streams and videos that were sent my way during the week. Take a scroll and find something worth remembering.

Los canadienses Metric presentaron el video de Breathing Underwater , el nuevo corte de su último trabajo de estudio Synthetica . El video, dirigido por Lauren Graham , se ve a los canadienses en distintas presentaciones en vivo, en una especie de diario de viaje. Breathing Underwater es el segundo corte de Synthetica , el primero fue Youth Without [...]

Joseph Yarmush It's been interesting to keep up with Montreal's Suuns over the last few years, starting from back in January 20009 when they were still a mostly-unknown outfit calling themselves Zeroes, opening up for Land Of Talk, through their rebranding and 2010 debut Zeroes QC . From the get-go, their intention of melding post-punk, new wave, krautrock, psychedelia, and really any other sound they could conceive of into an occasionally serene but more often discomfitingly danceable brew was clear but the progress they've made at realizing it, measured [...]

Breathing Underwater is one of the standouts for me on Canadian indie rock band Metric’s latest album Synthetica. View its music video below.
Ya nos estamos acercando al final de 2012 y podemos decir con seguridad que Synthetica , el último disco de Metric , no aparecerá en nuestra lista de los “mejores” –al menos a título personal-. La banda de Emily Haines afianzó el sonido que ya había mostrado en Fantasies , su anterior producción, pero todavía quedó lejos de otros trabajos que había entregado en el pasado. En esta oportunidad nos presentan el video de “Breathing Underwater” , que, afortunadamente para nosotros, es [...]
by Tiana Feng Metric 's video for Breathing Underwater finally works in Canada. Hah. Watch them rocking out on some giant stages.
Después del largo e intenso tour que esta banda canadiense ha tenido a lo largo de estos dos últimos años, el día de hoy ya podemos disfrutar nuevo material de ellos. "Breathing Underwater" es una de las canciones más aclamadas de su más reciente disco (Synthetica) y la letra nos hace pensar un poco en [...]

De su reciente quinto álbum Synthetica , se desprende “ Breathing Underwater ”, y Metric nos presenta desde ayer el video para la misma, formado con material de distintas presentaciones del reciente tour de esta banda canadiense. Synthetica será re lanzado en versión deluxe con un bonus que incluye un cover a la canción “ Strange Weather ” de Tom Waits .

O Metric lançou ontem o clipe de Breathing Underwater , single do mais recente álbum dos canadense, Synthetica . Compilando imagens da banda ao vivo e de sua preparação para subir ao palco, o vídeo soa como uma homenagem aos fãs, principalmente nas cenas finais, nas quais os integrantes do Metric aparecem agradecendo o público de seus sempre lotados shows. O álbum Synthetica é o quinto da carreira da banda canadense, lançado em junho deste ano, e até ganhou um documentário .

Nuevo vídeo de Metric , una escusa perfecta para recordar "Synthetica", el álbum que nos dejaron durante este 2012 y que yo al menos lo tengo en mente para las clásicas listas de “lo mejor del 2012”, si aun no habéis descubierto este disco que sepáis que aun lo tienen disponible en streaming. Además, por si no fuera poco, nos dejarán el 20 de noviembre con la edición Deluxe de "Synthetica" , en la que se incluye este “Breathing Underwater” en versión acústica que os dejo [...]

Metric could have really taken the literal route in their music video for "Breathing Underwater". Though without the risk of cribbing Ween's "Ocean Man" , the Canadian, Emily Haines-led outfit went with the tried and true "life on the road" concept, documenting their endless travels and high-energy live show. Still, maybe rocking out on stage and swimming aren't too different: both place individuals in this mesmerizing, otherworldly dimension that some never want to leave, and after a few minutes, utterly drained and breathless, they come back to the real world with the hopes of returning ASAP. Watch it below. [...]

Purity Ring at Neumos / photo by Dave Lichterman In Purity Ring 's new video for "Lofticries" characters are faced with surreal moments of death and unreality - and react with stoicism. Directed by AG Rojas , who also directed Spiritualized 's "Hey Jane" video, the camera sticks close behind the characters as they encounter everything from a body laying in shallow water, a glowing hearse in garage, and a pale woman with a glowing stomach. [ Pitchfork ] [...]

The latest visuals from Metric takes a straight-forward approach, utilizing footage from their shows this past summer and shots of Emily Haines being a bad ass. Judging from the video, a Metric concert isn't one to be missed, as it looks like the band will guarantee a sweaty good time. "Breathing Underwater" appears on the band's most recent release, Synthetica . Watch the video below. ( Prefix )

Facebook / ilovemetric.com I've previously talked about my failures to see Metric live, so for those of you losing sleep about it, I'm glad to let you know that I know have seen the band perform at a storming Shepherd's Bush back in July. Since however, I've not really listened to the bands latest album Synthetica , the announcement of its latest single (and one of my most despised things in music today, a 'deluxe edition' of the album) "Breathing Underwater" has led to me discovering its gems... [...]

New visuals for Metric's "Breathing Underwater" just premiered along with the announcement of a deluxe edition of their album Synthetica to be released next week. The new video is made up mostly of behind the scenes and on stage footage of the band's recently completed US tour and shows just how crazy life can get while on the road. Metric is currently at the beginning of their first ever arena tour throughout Canada. Check it out below along with an acoustic version of 'Breathing Underwater" the band recently recorded. [...]
It's 4pm so that means two thangs. You'll check out the METRIC 's new video, BREATHING UNDERWATER , and then you'll watch my interview with their she-singer
