Description
Even real places become imaginary when they are so far out of reach. Named for an idyllic island near Ibiza off the coast of Spain, Formentera is a place that, for Metric, only existed on a page in a “”dream destinations”” travel book that lay open on a desk in the new recording studio that guitarist Jimmy Shaw built in 2020, in a rural hamlet north of Toronto. This is the setting where the band”s eighth album took shape. Metric”s sound is both genre-defying and genre-defining here. Formentera is the follow-up to 2018”s Art of Doubt.
