Synthetica
Synthetica is the fifth studio album by Canadian indie rock band Metric, featuring the singles "Youth Without Youth" and "Speed the Collapse".
Sonically futuristic yet organic, Synthetica sounds like the culmination of a decade of evolution that defined the band’s early years—an album that
remains as bold and resonant today as it was upon its 2012 release. Now pressed exclusively for retail on Opaque baby blue.
Fantasies
Fantasies is the fourth album released by the Canadian indie rock band Metric, featuring the singles "Help, I'm Alive" and "Gimme Sympathy". Since
its release in 2009, Fantasies has grown into Metric’s most-streamed album, racking up over 252 million plays on Spotify alone as of July 2025. Widely
celebrated at the time—debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers and earning Alternative Album of the Year at the 2010 Junos—its enduring
popularity continues to make it a defining highwater mark in the band's catalog. Now pressed exclusively for retail on Opaque Bone.
Art of Doubt
In 1998, songwriting & production duo Emily Haines & Jimmy Shaw formed Metric & left Toronto for NYC in search of like-minded artists. In '01/'02,
they were joined by drummer Joules Scott Key & bassist Joshua Winstead, & found themselves at the center of the city’s burgeoning alt-rock scene
alongside bands like LCD Soundsystem, The Strokes, TV On the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol & more. Metric’s relentless pursuit of timeless
songwriting & fiercely independent ethos have cemented their place as one of the most essential & ahead-of-the-curve bands of the last two
decades; the trailblazing Toronto outfit is proof that you can amass an untouchable catalog without signing to a major label or changing your lineup.
Metric's 2018 2LP studio album again available on vinyl!
