Metric are gearing up for the June release of their fifth album Synthetica by hitting the festival circuit as well as the exclusive radio live set circuit pretty hard. New York NPR affiliate caught some recent fruits of the latter, namely the band's cover of Tom Waits' apocalyptic classic "Strange Weather." Frontwoman Emily Haines and multi-instrumentalist James Shaw on the piano deliver a take that sounds – and we mean this in the best way possible – like something you'd expect to hear in a dark bar at the end of [...]

Tom Waits já ganhou diversas interepretações de suas músicas. Até a atriz Scarlett Johansson já gravoou algumas de suas faixas. Agora foi a vez do Metric fazer um bonito cover de música Strange Weather , faixa presente no álbum Bi g Time (1988). A gravação faz parte de uma sessão em que a banda participou para um programa da rádio nova iorquina WFUV Public Radio. Acompanhada apenas de um piano, Emily Haines dá um tom doce e sútil à canção que a deixa ainda mais româtica do que sua versão orginial.
Rather than taking on the great, inimitable Tom Waits, Metric's Emily Haines channels Marianne Faithfull's 1987 version of this Big Time cut for WFUV . All hushed piano, chilling vocals, and a mood that - in more recent memory - conjures the vibe of Alison Mosshart's "The Last Goodbye" for KCRW last year, the result is one of the best covers of this tune around. Thanks to NJ Underground for the find. Check out the video below:
Indie rockers Metric recently laid down a cover of Tom Waits' "Strange Weather" for WFUV's indie offshoot The Alternate Side . Singer Emily Haines plays to her strengths, avoiding the sneer Waits gives the track on 19882s Big Time . Instead, she turns on the soul and delivers a haunted, sultry rendition over James Shaws' forlorn piano. Check out the in-studio performance below (via The NJ Underground ).

With the popularity of the Twilight series in both the box offices and the bookstore, it was only a matter of time before we found vampires creeping around in their very own TV series. In fact, we got two. While HBO's True Blood came first, the CW's Vampire Diaries had its finger closer to the pulse of the indie music blogosphere. Such was the case in Season 1. While vampire diehards got their dose of girl (Elena) meeting dreamy vampire (Stefan), and all the drama that follows a relationship between someone who is alive [...]
Cosmonaut Grechko is an indie-dance artist whose works have been under our radar for some time as he always managed to deliver quality pieces one after another. This remix is not exactly new but if it's good then it's good, right? The lush, chillwave-ish synth layers featured prominently in this song definitely goes along well with Emily's voice that seems to undergone a bit of lo-fi treatment. We love the relatively unorthodox arrangement as well, with the song seemingly composed in two segues ; each containing layers and layers of melodies, appearing and vanishing ever so smoothly.
![[Electro] Metric – Twilight Galaxy (MALO Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4162814_lg.jpg)
Canadians Metric have had 'Twilight Galaxy' reworked by MALO , an up-and-coming musician who hails from Florida. Taking the original and pumping it up with some killer beats, MALO has given'Twilight Galaxy' added bite that will see it take dancefloors by storm. Definitely a producer to watch out for, watch this space for more from MALO. The original of 'Twilight Galaxy' is featured on Metric's album 'Fantasies', available now. Metric - Twilight Galaxy (MALO Remix) Download audio file (Metric - Twilight Galaxy (MALO Remix).mp3)
Unblocked and deterred from Facebook's mighty hand-fu grip, Metric hires in the near Alison Goldfrapp sounding vocalist, Emily Haines for a chief aide memoire about 'Twilight Galaxies' mystical and keepsake attraction. Florida's MALO retains its Original potency, powering up a well bodied kick drum and blessing its depth full of electro-chord richness. With plenty of beats per minute boost, MALO makes a vigour Avatar from out of a vintage looking Vampire. Good job. METRIC – Twilight Galaxy (MALO Remix)
