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

Who we are: we are a record label, like many others are, but we're a whole lot more than that. We are the baby of Lars. Lewerenz, who began to release our music, the music of his friends, his adopted family, in 2003. Which was a good decision, we've celebrated ourselves for this everywhere in the meantime. Cuz Audiolith Youth is everywhere. And we're there with it and down with it. We're coming to your town, and we're listening to what you have to say, and we'll see each other in the streets and we'll be wearing the same t-shirt. Your style is important to us, cause you like our mix. So you become part of it, cause everything fun and authentic goes, cause we're don't dig getting in trouble but rather get on parking lots. On which we rave. We drink our beer. But don't close our heads. We dance and sing songs. Cause we're way hotter than the crap they try to flog at you in Discounterland. Don't listen to them. Loosen up. Blow your mind with good music.
    
Who we are: Wir sind ein Plattenlabel, wie tausend andere auch und wir sind noch mehr als das. Wir sind das Baby von Lars. Lewerenz, der 2003 begann, Musik von uns, seinen Freunden, seiner Wahlfamilie, zu veröffentlichen. Das war gut, denn deswegen feiern wir inzwischen überall. Coz Audiolith Youth is Everywhere. Und die ist mit uns und wir unten mit ihr. Wir kommen auch in deine Stadt, und wir hören dich an, und wir seh'n uns auf der Straße und wir tragen das gleiche Shirt. Dein Style ist uns wichtig, weil du unsern Mix magst. Dann bist du mit dabei, da alles geht, was Spass macht und echt ist, weil wir nicht auf Ärger stehen, sondern auf Parkplätzen. Auf denen wir raven. Wir trinken unser Bier. Aber machen nicht den Kopf zu. Wir tanzen und singen Lieder. Denn wir sind geiler als der Scheiss, den sie dir verkaufen wollen in Discounterland. Hör nicht auf die. Mach dich locker: Blow your Mind with good Music.
