Nearly three decades in, Metric still sound restless, and Romanticize the Dive, the Canadian band's tenth studio album, arrives here on white vinyl.
Released in 2026 as the follow-up to Formentera II, the album was recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York and Main Street Studios in Toronto. Gavin Brown produced alongside John O'Mahony, Liam O'Neil and the band's own James Shaw, keeping the sound sleek without sanding off the grit that has always made Metric interesting.
Emily Haines remains the magnetic centre, singing with that familiar blend of cool detachment and sudden, unguarded feeling. "Victim of Luck" opens the record and served as its first single, setting a tone of glossy tension. "Time Is a Bomb" and "Crush Forever", the singles that followed, show the band's knack for pairing nervy energy with synth-lit longing.
Shaw's guitars and the rhythm section of Joshua Winstead and Joules Scott-Key give the songs muscle, and the eleven tracks move briskly, never lingering longer than they need to.
For a band that helped define the sound of Canadian indie rock in the 2000s, this is a confident late-career statement, and the white pressing makes a sharp companion to their earlier records on the shelf.
