Song of the Month: Metric, Moral Compass

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.

Song of the Month: Odds, Truth Untold

I’m now at the age where simply reminding me of an earlier period of my life can be a big point in a song’s favour. Off and on the last few months I’ve enjoyed listen to Odds for that hit of classic 90s Canadian alt rock vibes.

I like some of the wordplay in their songs. The double meaning of “the truth untold will always lie between us” hits good.
