Metric’s debut album, ‘Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?’ launched Metric’s career and helped to usher in a wave (or New Wave) of Canadian indie bands such as Broken Social Scene and Arcade Fire. They have since gone on to sell over a million singles and 500,000 albums worldwide.

Finally available on vinyl, the album sounds as urgent and timeless today as it did in 2003 and like all of Metric’s music to date, ‘Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?’ isn’t so much a summation of influences as experiences.

Metric don’t let you off easy. They are decidedly cubist: eternal, multilayered portraits of instantaneous moments, the luminous blur of street life rendered as a freeze-tableaux, daily rituals portrayed in a fantastical light. This is music born out of sly, considered observation instead of gratuitous introspection which makes it refreshingly anomalous in an era when so much popular music fudges the line between self-absorption and self-parody.
