Metric has teamed with Tumblr to unveil the video for "Breathing Underwater," the latest single from its acclaimed Synthetica (Metric Music International/mom+pop), at http://tumblr.ilovemetric.com
The world premiere of "Breathing Underwater" is accompanied by a SoundCloud set featuring three versions of the song: the original album version of the song, the Synthetica Reflections version, and an acoustic version. The acoustic "Breathing Underwater" will be the first taste of the five extra songs on Synthetica Deluxe, being released digitally November 20 and physically December 4. The other all-acoustic bonus tracks are versions of "Youth Without Youth" and the album's title track plus "Gimme Sympathy" from the band's previous Fantasies and a rarely heard cover of Tom Waits' "Strange Weather."Finally December will mark both Metric's being named VH1 "You Oughta Know" artist of the month and the band's final run of dates for 2012. Having slain crowds of all sizes from intimate club shows preceding Synthetica's release to triumphant main stage sets at the likes of Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits to headline appearances at such revered venues as Radio City Music Hall and the Greek Theater, Metric will follow up its current arena tour of Canada with the dates listed below.Videos
