"The sound that kicks off this song, and the record, is the fluttering voice of Shara Worden combined with Chris Thile's tremolo mandolin. In order to create the vocal sound, I recorded Shara singing three short 'ah' sounds on every pitch in her range. I snipped them all up, and using a sampler, mapped them so that I could 'play' her voice from a keyboard. Then I used some fancy programming to make each 'ah' repeat as I hold down a key, or more specifically, to 'bounce' like a ball propelled by gravity... and then reverse itself. The result is that each 'ah' bounces rapidly and gradually smears into the next, creating the illusion of a held note, and then spreads out again. When 'playing' the voice this way, an extra-natural vocal articulation is achieved, but the sound of the instrument itself is entirely acoustic, and even human. This bit of technical geekery is a play on 'alternate world,' presenting the familiar in a strange new light." - Ryan Lott

Lyrics:
ALTERNATE WORLD
ALTERNATE AGE
ALTERNATE LIFE

OH OH, WE'LL SHED OUR SKIN
WE'LL WALK THE OTHER SIDE
OH OH, WE'LL BRACE FOR IT
AND CONQUER EVERYTHING
OH OH OH 
AND CONQUER EVERYTHING

OH OH, WE'RE MAGICAL
WE'LL WAKE THE DEAD FROM SLEEP
OH OH, WE'LL SHED OUR SKIN
WE'LL WALK THE OTHER SIDE
OH OH, WE'LL BRACE FOR IT
AND CONQUER EVERYTHING
OH OH OH

TEAR ME AWAY, FROM THIS FIGHT
TEAR ME AWAY, TAKE ME TO AN...
ALTERNATE WORLD
ALTERNATE AGE
ALTERNATE LIFE

ALTERNATE WORLD
ALTERNATE AGE
ALTERNATE LIFE

MAKE WHAT WE BELIEVE
DON'T WE MAKE WHAT WE CAN

Born to win and born to shine
Humble warriors of love

You Know Me

In 1998, songwriting & production duo Emily Haines & Jimmy Shaw formed what would become Metric and left Toronto for NYC in search of like-minded artists. In 2001/2002, they were joined by drummer Joules Scott Key & bassist Joshua Winstead, and found themselves at the center of the city’s burgeoning alt-rock scene alongside bands like LCD Soundsystem, The Strokes, TV On the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol and more. Unlike their peers, Metric resisted major label offers, releasing albums that pushed boundaries on their own terms.

Metric’s relentless pursuit of timeless songwriting and fiercely independent ethos have cemented their place as one of the most essential and ahead-of-the-curve bands of the last two decades. By constantly upping themselves across nine unpredictable and adventurous studio albums, the trailblazing Toronto outfit founded by Emily Haines & Jimmy Shaw is proof that you can amass an untouchable catalog without signing to a major label or changing your lineup. Their latest LP, Formentera II, out October 13 via their label MMI & Thirty Tigers, is a testament to their singular purpose. It stands among their best and most genre-defying work and closes the 18-song cycle started by 2022’s critically acclaimed Formentera
