METZ have announced Up on Gravity Hill, their first album in four years. The follow-up to 2020’s Atlas Vending is due out April 12 via Sub Pop. The LP was engineered by Seth Manchester and features guest performances from Amber Webber of Black Mountain and composer Owen Pallett. Today, the band has shared two songs from it, ’99’ and ‘Entwined (Street Light Buzz)’. Take a listen below.
“These two songs couldn’t be more stylistically and thematically dissimilar,” the band’s Alex Edkins said in a statement. “‘Entwined (Street Light Buzz)’ is a song about the deep connection humans can foster with one another and how we carry people with us forever, even after death. ‘99’ is about the scourge of corporate greed and bottom-line thinking that runs rampant in modern society. Anything for a buck is the message being sent to younger generations.”
