Last month, Metric and Broken Social Scene announced a tour together along with new albums. Metric shared “Victim Of Luck” from Romanticize The Dive, and today they’re back with another preview called “Time Is A Bomb.”
“Say what you want about the wellness boom, I think it’s a natural response to the unrelenting awareness we have of our mortality,” Emily Haines says, continuing:
The powerless feeling of wanting to hold on and make time stop while simultaneously doing everything you can to max out your fleeting vitality — this song expresses that inner tension. I love my life and I’m truly amazed that I made it to my happily ever after, but I don’t want to spend the time I have left obsessing over personal consequences, being boring and hiding from fun. I don’t expect to be jumping off speaker stacks or crowd surfing like I used to, but it’s still too soon to say never.
As existential as it is, “Time Is A Bomb” has a great, irresistible groove to it. Dive in below.
Romanticize The Dive is out 4/24 via Thirty Tigers.
