"Synthetica" is the title track of Metric's fifth album, released in June 2012, and the Canadian band carried the name well beyond the record itself, all the way to a companion app that let fans remix its songs. Emily Haines and James Shaw wrote it, Shaw produced with Gavin Brown, John O'Mahony and Liam O'Neil as co-producers, and O'Mahony mixed. There's brass on it too, credited to Evan Cranley and Chris Seligman.
Even the rollout played games. Before the album arrived, fans could stream it early by playing "Synthetica Hide + Seek", a word-hunting game hosted on Metric's website.
