""The song 'Victim Of Luck' and really the entire album is about the romance of a less than perfect life. It's about dropping the mask of self-consciousness and vanity. It was a long journey for me to get out of my own way and I wanted this song to be a rallying cry for that, better late than never. You can be as much a victim of good luck as bad.""
""So when we started out yes we were broke and we were playing to ten people and there was nothing for us to fall back on but we refused to give up, and it's not as though we're all superstar billionaires now, but that was never what we were after. It turns out the grind is the thing you wouldn't trade and the bonds you made can't be faked.""
Metric's 10th album Romanticize the Dive is due April 24 via Thirty Tigers. Recording took place at Electric Lady Studios in New York City with producer Gavin Brown, co-producers Jimmy Shaw and Liam O'Neil, and mix engineer John O'Mahoney. The album's opening single is "Victim Of Luck," a song about the romance of a less-than-perfect life, shedding self-consciousness and vanity, and embracing persistence and close bonds. The band will tour with Broken Social Scene and Stars in summer 2026, including Brooklyn Paramount on July 30. Tickets go on sale February 6 at 10 AM local with presales beginning February 4.
