And...

In keeping with our desire to embrace the future, we've started working with a new music streaming service called Spotify. Metric fans in the UK, France, Spain, Norway, Sweden & Finland can stream content from the bonus disc (and more) on Spotify before anybody else.  Welcome to the cloud!

If you are not on Spotify, you can request a free invite to the ad supported service here, or sign-up anytime for the Premium service here . And for a limited time, in the UK and continental Europe, if you go here you can download the original version of Fantasies for only £0.99 with no strings attached and receive a free bonus track... a song called "The Gates.” Thank you Spotify!

Metric is playing in London at Shepherd's Bush Empire on 24 May & at Koko on 23 May. Once again thanks to Spotify you can get a 25% discount on your ticket here. Tickets for Koko go on sale this Thursday (tomorrow), but Metric fans can still get first crack at the tickets at the same discount via an exclusive pre-sale on our website which ends later today or when tickets sell out.
