Detlef Schrempf (Live Acoustic)

One of the tracks recorded for Meursault's crowd-funded, crowd-chosen album made to help fund the band's US tour.

Fans who bought the album through the Kickstarter campaign were invited to vote for five songs - covers or original Meursault songs - with the most popular making it onto the album.

We started recording on February 1st, mixed it between 10th-13th, mastered on the 14th, we've spent between 16th-19th printing the posters and album sleeves, we're folding and packing today and tomorrow is the first launch night. 

There's a daft wee video of the recording process here if you're interested:

dedication hour (feat. Neko Case & Gabriel Kahane)

“Dear Pretty Betty” is a letter written in melody to a fleeting muse—someone ephemeral but unforgettable. It captures the ache of unfinished intimacy, where the connection was real but too fragile to last.
The speaker reflects on the way Betty left—not with closure, but with traces: a song on a windowsill, footsteps in memory, a laugh that broke promises. Her love felt borrowed, and now all that remains is a haunting presence and unanswered music. He preserves her absence like a relic, humming the line she never sang, waiting at a table she’ll never return to.
It’s a tribute to a lover who was more feeling than fact—part myth, part memory, part melody that never landed its final note.

Dear Pretty Betty- The Letter # Soul

when i was a child i made a deal against the sun
that if it died out that i would carry on
so you can feel and you can see 
that it's all real
and you won't have to cry

i'll be the night, let your systems all transpire
let them soak up the light then dash them on the fire
and in the flames of your streets
children will be laughing at your feet
and i will be gone

no one owes you any favours, they only owe you wine
and a fruitless search for saviours, will leave nothing inside
i'm married to the sky, im a servant of the hour
i'm open as time, and i'm perfect without power

and i will carry your death, and i will speak your final words
i will draw your final breath, so that it will be heard
above the sound of your empires tumbling down
until you're memorised by the ground
in the bitterness of the end

oh i pray you're never lonely and that leads you all to love
i pray you're never empty but cannot fathom the Above
i pray for your children and that their wishes be understood
by their masters and their minds and are not buried in the flood
of other's dreams 
and other's schemes
and other's teams
which should be left alone

and i'll be the night

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
