I love their dedication, you'd think that after releasing 8 albums they would eventually fall into mediocrity and drop in quality like it tends to happen with most artists and bands, but no, Metric keeps raising the bar with every album. Wish more people knew how amazing they are.
Many bands only have one record in them, and then they disagree on the direction and jump all over the place, destroying the process to the next great album.
I think I've seen Metric at least like 20 times a few times on purpose and also because they play like every festival in Canada. They always put on an amazing show, in fact I saw them with Deathcab for Cutie back in I think like 2015 general admission at the ACC. It was an amazing show I'll never forget that night.
you are so lucky! I'm from Argentina and I haven't seen them even once :( I know they'll come to south america one day, I just can't wait anymore! I've been waiting for more than 10 years!
Saw them live this past september and holy fuck they know how to put on a show. Amazing vocals, mesmerizing bass, killer drums, and astronomic guitar. PSA to people seeing them live: Get tipsy to have the time of your life lol
My heart! ❤😢 I love these awesome artists! Met them June 29…..I’ve seen them numerous times but they were very gracious, kind and as awesome as I thought they were! No disappoint! ❤
I saw them years ago in Oakland and there was some mishap where their gear didn’t make it to the gig so it was just them two with a piano and a guitar and they pulled off their set beautifully.
Love them ❤ keep them with this free spirit forever and ever, is something really refreshing hear a musians performing something new that likes just for how it sounds and something old but creative ❤ you aré great such an inspo and I promise love you forever
As a brazilian, it is always lovely to see foreign artists acknowledging Jorge Ben! And as far as I know, there really wasn't foul play on Rod's part. Apparently he heard it in 78's brazillian Carnival since it played everywhere and everytime, and then he made this song later unconsciously. Credits were given much later, though.
Whoauuu je n’arrete pas de les écouter depuis le live à The Current 😮 et la ils sont dans ma KEXP BEST RADIO (avec radio Cidade Brésil) C’est trop cool tankx kexp ♥️🫶
metric played the dirt road renditions at the 2022 andy kim christmas last month! it sounded great emily and jimmy are so talented with just the guitar and mic live. kind of a shame they didn't get to join bss who was also there but bss played with shaye which was so rare and cool
Wow this sounds like a completely new song! I actually l Prefer dark saturday this way! Emily has aa crazy range vocally and Jimmy is underrated he's got it down..reminds me of Elliot Smith when he plays.Epjc set
all roads lead to the velvet underground i suppose... stones or the beatles i d rather be metric or nirvana and kurt and emily would b the velvet underground soooo .. all roads lead

Truth.
Help I'm Alive was transcendental when I first heard it. Everything else was too and has been ever since 🤣 I don't understand
It’s so crazy they’re not more famous. They’re so amazing.
Dark Saturday 0:29
All Comes Crashing 5:05

The woman has pipes. Period. And what a songwriter.
Emily and Jimmy never disappoint. They always come through on KEXP with something solid.✨️💯
Caught them on this last tour and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen.
I always wanted to catch them live.
Loved this session and interview. This version of Gimme Something just about brought me to tears.
Yea! Metric thank you for sprinkling some magic on us all in the Pacific North West.
Love Emily’s presence & music & their work is likely the largest contributor to my Spotify playlists!! Brilliant!! ❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦☀️😎
i always love when artists change things up with their music.
Braaaaaaazil, Braaaaziiil, Braaaaaziiiiiiiil
I really love them when the band is paired down like this.
These are often morning tapings. Always fun to see 'night people' in that environment.
Really loved the versions, now it's time to try the studio versions :D made my day as a first time Metric listener! Much love to the KEXP
Just saw them in Atlanta! She’s still got it.

metric with dcfc... what a dream
Saw them live this past september and holy fuck they know how to put on a show. Amazing vocals, mesmerizing bass, killer drums, and astronomic guitar. PSA to people seeing them live: Get tipsy to have the time of your life lol
Agreed. Everytime I've seen them it's been a total dance party, just the best.
How did I miss this?? Can't wait to listen.
My heart! ❤😢 I love these awesome artists! Met them June 29…..I’ve seen them numerous times but they were very gracious, kind and as awesome as I thought they were! No disappoint! ❤
Metric is such a beautiful dream. 🖤
That’s was awesome- great work KEXP/Metric the music and interview chat was cool and inspiring - best and cheerz🤙
brazil is my FAVORITE movie of all time. no wonder i loved their new album so much! love metric so much
Metric is always so great
ayer me acordé de Metric, qué lindo verlos aquí hoy!!! 🖤✨
De que hablas? si acaban de lanzar nuevo album y yo no he parado de escucharlo. Andas un poco desconectada de ellos entonces.
@@ramn_ por eso, hahahah ✨
Metric has something magical as a band!
How can she still just open her mouth and sing like that? Damn. And the lyrics are still so good!
dam that rendition of All Comes Down was amazing
I dream of an acoustic tour in tiny concert hall ... but I have my ticket for the electric tour in progress (in France in February 2023)
I saw them years ago in Oakland and there was some mishap where their gear didn’t make it to the gig so it was just them two with a piano and a guitar and they pulled off their set beautifully.
I was there at NSSN right? That was so dope! They made it a special night.
been listening to them since parkdale, they became part of my childhood
absolutely blown away, what fantastic mucsic!!!
Loving this Dirt version, much love from Texas !
Excellent performance!
Love them ❤ keep them with this free spirit forever and ever, is something really refreshing hear a musians performing something new that likes just for how it sounds and something old but creative ❤ you aré great such an inspo and I promise love you forever

I’m obsessed I hope they go on tour next year I’ll definitely be going!!
XEXP bringing the heat (again) with great questions and knowing when to shut up and listen to musicians talk about music

La belle Emilie ... quelle voix ... extra

🎉❤Metric foevahhhh!
Absolutely fantastic ✌️❤️🇦🇺
Love Metric!
What a vocal performance
Amazing
Wow!! Wonderful!
Love metric ❤
Whoauuu je n’arrete pas de les écouter depuis le live à The Current 😮 et la ils sont dans ma KEXP BEST RADIO (avec radio Cidade Brésil)
C’est trop cool tankx kexp ♥️🫶
What a voice! 👌
Almost missed this, Love me some Metric
I love how she knows her voice so well that she can use the cracks and other idiosyncrasies to her, and our, advantage.
She's been doing this a long time. She was a founding member of Broken Social Scene. A super group before the fact rather than the typical after.
@@Steven-wm9vu Along with Leslie Feist.
Kevin Drew leads a quality crew.
That’s mezzo soprano.
So true. She has so many colors and tones.
@@thebrysmith3 Feist is my favorite solo artist from the BSS crew.
Love Metric
Took a second but I am hooked... Thanks
Because they are the best
I'd say Metric could sweep the 2023 Americana Awards with this, but they're Canadian.
The singer gets most of the attention, but the Music man is a big part of what makes Metric work.
J'aime Metric!!!
SICK~
huge band s2 s2 s2 s2
YESSSSSSS!!!
ALLL HAIL QUEEN

Damn Emily’s voice is likely whiskey and honey sharp, sweet, and makes you warm inside
🖤🖤
I keep waiting to be disappointed....never happens.

Emily is aging so nicely
Canadian Royalty
KEXP WHERE?!?! Seattle?!
Yea
'Cool', those sunglasses 🥱
😎
nothing new under the sun ... one more folk.
😃
Beatles vs Rolling Stones I'll take the Velvet Underground too!
My computer doesn’t play metric music
Why acoustic session? 😩
cause its cool
Knows how to sing
all roads lead to the velvet underground i suppose... stones or the beatles i d rather be metric or nirvana and kurt and emily would b the velvet underground soooo .. all roads lead
Ummm I’m not synthetica whoa hey I’ll choose the life that I got asshoes
Why acoustic though 😭
Cuz electric version already exists?
@@planetvegan7843 didn't stop phantogram or aurora from performing it that way
Because Dirt Road
They also said they had a show the night of this so all their gear was probably set up somewhere else.
@@planetvegan7843 yeah that makes sense
