Y’know summat, I’m alright with Metric. Going right back to the fearsome brutality of ‘Monster Hospital’ they’ve managed to sneak little pop rock nuggets under the radar without the acclaim they often deserved. Now here they come again with their latest release ‘Eclipse (All Yours)’ taken from the Twilight Soundtrack album (I know, I know everyone bar your Aunt Mabel is on the bloody thing). However worry not if fay tales of pretty vampires and all that malarkey is not to your liking (or you aren’t thirteen) because this is still a fair outing.

Its a rather glacial and expansive affair underpinned with a diluted version of their usual gritty demeanor that comes armed with an oh so breathy yet palatable vocal gently laid over the top. There’s a gentle hook in the chorus which draws you in and before you know it you’ve got a little winner. Its not quite as punchy as the preceding material but that’s really not to its detriment.

Its out on August 16th.

…now imagine in an ideal world if MSTRKRFT got hold of this and did an absolute tear up on it…sigh
