On their recent iTunes session, Metric recorded a cover of Buffalo Springfield's ' Expecting To Fly '. Although Emily Haines ' vocal is pretty much unmistakable the sound of this track is a real diversion from the norm for Metric. Much more delicate and (for lack of a better word) pretty than much of their other stuff. I still prefer the 'Combat Baby' [...]

Una canción tan hermosa como la escrita por Neil Young en 1967 merecía un hermoso vídeo y así lo pensó el director y amigo de los Metric [...]

Check out the new video and get Metric iTunes Session here .

One band who seem to have been touring relentlessly over the past couple of years is Metric. Since the release of their 2009 album Fantasies they've probably been through your nearest major town at least three times. It's unsurprising then that they've decided to release a live album, of sorts. Rather than put out a fully produced document of Metric live in 2009-2010 the band have created an iTunes session, which seems to be quite a popular mode of releasing music these days. I've always been sceptical about the value of these sessions so haven't checked [...]
Their cover of "Expecting to Fly" is far out, man!

Os Metric apresentaram um novo vídeo para a sua versão de "Expecting to Fly", um belo tema, de 1967, dos Buffalo Springfield.
