Metric have announced their new album, Romanticize The Dive will drop on April 24 via Thirty Tigers, to celebrate the news, the band have shared new single “Victim Of Luck,” along with a new music video.

“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 at RBC Amphitheatre in Toronto on August 7th – making a third headline show for Metric at this venue.

For their new LP, Metric went back to New York City, 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.

Along with the news, Stars also announce, following their extensive 20th Anniversary North American tour over 2024/25 in support of their album, Set Yourself On Fire, the vinyl is now available for the first time to fans and the public after being exclusively offered on the band’s Patreon page.
