Metric have announced Formentera II, a companion album to last year’s Formentera. It’s slated for release on October 13 via Metric Music International/Thirty Tigers. First single ‘Just the Once’ features strings composed and arranged by Drew Jureka and mixed by Stuart White. Listen to it below.
“The only way I can describe ‘Just The Once’ is to call it regret disco,” lead singer Emily Haines said i na press release. “It’s a song for when you need to dance yourself clean. Beneath the sparkling surface, there’s a lyrical exploration of a simple word with many meanings. Once is a word that plays a game of opposites. Once can mean once-upon-a-time and refer to a moment in the past, or it can mean someday, once something happens. And as for doing something only once versus doing something once in a while, well, I think we all know how vast the difference is between the two.”
