Track by Track is a recurring feature series in which artists guide readers through every song on their latest release. Today, Metric take us through their latest record, Formentera II.
Canadian rock mainstays Metric return today with their brand new album, Formentera II, out via Metric Music International/Thirty Tigers. This is the follow-up and direct sequel to their 2022 album Formentera, building on the addictive hooks and lushness of its predecessor. With these nine new tracks, the band is showing they still have what it takes to mix things up.
The band is as groovy as ever, particularly on the single “Just This Once,” with Joshua Winstead’s bassline rooting the song in a funk style before it switches up in the second half. With another year to grow together, the band sounds re-energized on the dream pop-influenced single “Who Would You Be For Me,” while still remaining faithful to their alternative rock roots.

Since making their full-length debut with 2003’s Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?, they’ve raked in several Juno Awards, an impressive number of chart rankings and movie soundtrack placements. And though they’ve yet to have their major pop breakthrough in the United States, they say they’re not hurting for one anytime soon.
