The new music video for the title track of Metric’s most recent — Polaris Music Prize Short Listed — studio album, Synthetica, is now viewable exclusively via Rolling Stone.
The video features the direction and vision of long-time Metric collaborator and designer of Synthetica‘s award-winning artwork, Justin Broadbent:
“Using a quadratic mirroring effect achieved with a custom designed camera, the viewer is confronted with a hypnotic, repeating image of an art gallery collapsing in on itself … As the camera turns 360 degrees from a singular eye-level vantage point, we see beautiful patterns caused by inanimate, contemporary art objects and lights located around the space as Emily strides alongside the camera, occasionally falling behind, and sometimes forging ahead”.
Stay tuned next week for details about the imminent release of two offshoots from Synthetica, the full version of the Synthetica Reflections album, as well as the band’s new mobile app entitled METRIC Synthetica.
Metric is currently on tour in the USA throughout November, ending the year with a tour of Asia, Australia and New Zealand. The full itinerary is available below.
