A few weeks out from releasing their new album, Pagans in Vegas, Canadian synth-rock outfit Metric have unveiled an anxious-sounding new single called “Fortunes.”
Frontwoman Emily Haines confirmed the song’s uneasy undertones, telling EW, “It’s kind of intense to look back on the writing of it because it was a pretty heavy time in New York where I remember going through this thing of a lot of people leaving. Everybody was moving to L.A., and the people staying were wondering why are we staying If they were leaving, why are we leaving? It’s just a sense of the larger awareness of how do you know when it’s the end of a chapter.”
Listen to “Fortunes” via EW, and grab Pagans in Vegas on September 18.
