Today brings 10 and a half minutes of new music from Metric, as the band have shared a video for the epic-length track "Doomscroller."
This extremely long opus opens up the band's upcoming album Formentera (and it's also the namesake of their upcoming tour). It's a clubby synth banger with stretches of ambience and anxious crescendos. There's a reference to QAnon, but for the most part, the song isn't too directly about the pandemic pastime of doomscrolling on your phone.
Watch the video, directed by Justin Broadbent, below. Vocalist Emily Haines said in a statement, "Justin captured rare studio footage of the recording of 'Doomscroller' and we used it like a visual anchor, as evocative places outside the room keep creeping in. These traces of life on Earth that appear and disappear throughout the song subtly mirror the shifting moods of the music."
Formentera is out July 10.
