Formentera II by Metric
Formentera II is an album by Metric, released in 2023. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 6 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Just The Once”, on 6 lists with a best position of #21.
Formentera II, Metric's ninth album, came out on October 13, 2023, on the band's own Metric Music International, with Thirty Tigers handling distribution, and it was billed as the sequel to 2022's Formentera. Emily Haines and James Shaw have been at this since they started the band in Toronto in 1998, and Shaw co-produced with Liam O'Neil and Gus van Go, which keeps the sound in the family: glittering synths, taut guitars, and Haines' cool, crystalline vocals floating over the top.
"Just The Once" is the one that reached the countdowns, a sleek, wistful synth-rock glide. The same year, Rolling Stone ranked Metric 41st among the 50 greatest Canadian artists of all time.
