This isn’t a new song, but I only discovered it fairly recently. I wasn’t super impressed at first, but after hearing it a few times, I’ve come to really appreciate it. It’s not a song you can just passively listen to; its full depth and complexity only blooms when you give it your full attention.
I feel like this hits all the tropes of most of the songs I share here. Canadian, synthy, female vocalist, pretty dark.
Metric released their tenth album, Romanticize the Dive, this month. Unfortunately I found this another weak one, and after three in a row I’m forced to confront the possibility my long time favourite band has finally lost their edge.
The one song that’s really hooked me off Romanticize is Moral Compass. Something about the haunting synth notes reminds me of some of the better parts of Road 96’s soundtrack, a great association if ever there was one.
