Metric - Students' Union: Access All Areas

from Students' Union: Access All Areas Hosted by Student Radio Association

In today's episode of Students' Union: Access All Areas we sit down with the formidable Canadian rockers Metric. Olly Hilton joins Emily from the band to go track by track through their latest genre-defying and genre-defining album Formentera. Even real places become imaginary when they are so far out of reach. Named for an idyllic island near Ibiza off the coast of Spain, Formentera is a place that, for Metric, only existed on a page in a “dream destinations” travel book that lay open on a desk in the new recording studio that guitarist Jimmy Shaw built in 2020, in a rural hamlet north of Toronto. This is the setting where the band’s eighth album took shape. Take a listen. Presenter: Olly Hilton Producer: Bridie Lonsdale
