Having just recently been in Australia as part of this year’s Splendour in the Grass, Canadian new-wave four-piece Metric are now giving fans a glimpse into the mindset and the behind-the-scenes work that took place on their latest record Synthetica, which came out in June of this year.
Synthetica, the documentary, is divided into four parts according to Diffuser, with the first two episodes posted on Metric’s Facebook page and the final two parts expected over the coming weeks.
Via interviews and studio footage the first two episodes gives an interesting insight into what is a very engaging and entertaining album. The 5th studio album from Metric, Synthetica has spawned popular singles Youth Without You and Breathing Underwater along with many other solid tracks including Artificial Nocturne, Speed the Collapse and The Void.
The episode’s embedded below are largely comprised of interviews with the band’s frontwoman Emily Haines but also give an idea of how the other band members approached work on Synthetica.
