Metric - Romanticize the Dive (Opaque White)

Metric have spent the past two decades refining a fiercely independent approach built on enduring songwriting and absolute trust between its members. Formed in Toronto by Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw alongside Joshua Winstead and Joules Scott-Key, the band quickly set their own course, relocating to New York and embedding themselves in the city’s early-2000s indie underground alongside kindred spirits who shared their ambition and DIY ethos.

Romanticize The Dive, their tenth studio album, reconnects with the freedom and creative spark of that formative period. Opening with a moment of nostalgia, the record looks back without lingering, using reflection as a springboard rather than a resting place. It captures a band still motivated by curiosity, conviction and a refusal to stand still.

The album also reunites the core creative team behind Fantasies, recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York, reinforcing the sense of continuity that runs through the project. At its heart, Romanticize The Dive is both a celebration of long-standing friendship and a reaffirmation of shared values — a record shaped by history, but driven by the same hunger to evolve that has defined Metric from the start.
