METRIC - Old World Underground, Where Are You Now? LP (Gray vinyl)

Label: Everloving

Limited vinyl LP pressing of this classic 2003 release by the Canadian band. Their 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. The old world underground they so romanticize; they're not sure if it ever truly existed. They say there's no time like the present; what they really mean is there's no such thing as the present. Five seconds into the future will be five seconds in the past once you finish reading this sentence.
