METRIC ANNOUNCE THEIR CAREER 10th ALBUM ROMANTICIZE THE DIVE FOR RELEASE APRIL 24 VIA THIRTY TIGERS

ANNOUNCE THE ALL THE FEELINGS TOUR 2026

Metric have announced their new album, Romanticize The Dive is arriving April 24 via Thirty Tigers, and share first single, “Victim Of Luck.” The official music video premieres today at 12 pm ET. The disarming first track album opener doubles as a mission statement, tracing the band back to their early days and revisiting, re-examining the tension, vulnerability, and hunger of youth. Through the lens of hindsight, Metric return to where it all began, with lead singer Emily Haines opening the band’s tenth studio album with these lines: singing:, “Let me take you back, it was the start of something, I was there not long before all the stardom. Now I’m in front of you and all I’m seeing is all my flaws. I was a starving artist but I was fearless. Now I don’t know what we are, frightened of heights we knew, scared to go too far, how I might look to you. Now who have I become, trash that mirror let my black mascara run.”

“The song ‘Victim Of Luck’ and really the entire album is about the romance of a less than perfect life. It’s about dropping the mask of self-consciousness and vanity,” says Emily Haines. “It was a long journey for me to get out of my own way and I wanted this song to be a rallying cry for that, better late than never. You can be as much a victim of good luck as bad. So when we started out yes we were broke and we were playing to ten people and there was nothing for us to fall back on but we refused to give up, and it’s not as though we’re all superstar billionaires now, but that was never what we were after. It turns out the grind is the thing you wouldn’t trade and the bonds you made can’t be faked. What we wanted is what we have and we’re not victims of anything. We dedicated our lives to each other and it’s the best feeling in the world”

Metric have released a companion video for the song composed of previously unseen archival footage of band life, riding in vans, smoking cigarettes, playing in clubs and goofing around in shitty dressing rooms. The past is layered with the present as we are given a sneak peek into Metric’s recent reunion with indie sleaze photographer Mark the Cobrasnake, who captured some of the first images ever of the band when they were starting out in Los Angeles and has returned to the fold for this new album.

In addition to their new album, Metric, Broken Social Scene & Stars have announced the All The Feelings North American Tour, promoted by Live Nation. A celebration of lifelong friendship and creative communion amongst the Toronto legends, the tour kicks off in Austin at the Moody Theatre on June 8th and ends with a glorious homecoming at RBC Amphitheatre in Toronto on August 7th – making a third headline show for Metric at this venue. Other highlights include The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on June 16th, The Brooklyn Paramount in Brooklyn on July 30th and The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on August 4th. More dates in Canada and abroad will be announced in the coming weeks.

Broken Social Scene has jointly announced their new album, Remember The Humans, is set for May 8 via Arts & Crafts. The release is led by the opening track and first single, “Not Around Anymore,” which features co-founder Kevin Drew reflecting on the fading sense of possibility in a rapidly changing world.

For their career tenth LP Metric new album the Toronto four-piece went back to the source, the place where they met: New York City at the height of its indie-rock explosion. Living and working in the city recording once again at Electric Lady Metric reunited with Fantasies and Synthetica producer Gavin Brown joined by co-producers Jimmy Shaw Liam O’Neil and mix engineer John O’Mahoney. This emotional reunion sonically captures the thrill of the band’s earliest ascent and all the chaos and possibility of the early-2000s music scene and brings it into the cultural context of 2026.
