Metz will release Up On Gravity Hill, their new album on April 12th, via Sub Pop/Dine Alone. The full-length was engineered by Seth Manchester (Mdou Moctar, Lingua Ignota, Battles, The Body) and features Amber Webber of Black Mountain and composer/string arranger Owen Pallett. Along with the news, the band has shared two new singles “99,” and “Entwined (Street Light Buzz).”

METZ frontman Alex Edkins says, “These two songs couldn’t be more stylistically and thematically dissimilar. ‘Entwined (Street Light Buzz)’ is a song about the deep connection humans can foster with one another and how we carry people with us forever, even after death. ‘99’ is about the scourge of corporate greed and bottom-line thinking that runs rampant in modern society. Anything for a buck is the message being sent to younger generations.”
