Although Emily Haines fronted Metric has been around for close to 15 years, their well-crafted and immensely listenable 2012 album Synthetica has been my introduction to the band. Synthetica is full of brilliant, easy listening singles that come together to make a coherent and memorable whole. My favourite songs on the album are Clone, Lost Kitten, Breathing Underwater and the Lou Reed collaboration Wanderlust . Check these songs out below and if you [...]

Since Metric announced the details to Synthetica, we've consumed anthemic first single "Youth Without Youth." Now, they've dropped the second single from the June release, a pummeling, uptempo song swimming in a Radiohead-esque texture. Stream it below.

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 [...]

Click image to download full album Sounds like: Metric, Twin Sister, Feist "North Highlands - Hiking" What's so good? Brooklyn's North Highlands has released their album, Wild One , this past week, and I'm guessing that it's being received quite well. They've already gained critical praise from notable media outlets (including here on Indie Shuffle) and that was even before Wild One [...]

Click image to download track Sounds like: Metric, Twin Sister, Feist "North Highlands - Benefits" What's so good? Make way for Brooklyn's North Highlands and their ever-so-entrancing classic indie pop creations. Lead singer Brenda Melvi's voice is a softer reminiscence of Metric's Emily Haines. If this song is just a snippet of what's to come from their LP Wild One (due out in [...]

Image From Here If you have been reading MNG for awhile now, you will definitely know that I like lists. I am trained as an Electrical Engineer and was one for 18 years. I like order instead of chaos and things to be listed a certain way. It may be the fact of my formal Engineering training or more of the fact that I am somewhat an obsessive compulsive person.
