yep - great sound - she has a delicious smoky sounding voice - like an Islay malt.

Might be one of my favorite new bands (new to me anyway).

Lou Reed contributed vocals to the track "The Wanderlust" on Metric's 2012 album Synthetica.

The sound of morse code is more melodic and interesting than the last Coldplay tune...this is actually dynamic and melodic. Thanks for the breath of fresh air...RP!!! The mechanical drums are a bit disappointing...but I suppose it fits the type of tune.

They played the Arlington Theater in Santa Barbara about 3 weeks ago. They were just awesome!

Almost a hundred years exactly since that was uttered. Still waiting on that better world . . .

Was Metric or Ladytron first? Both are fine!

Generally I don't like this CD nearly as much as their last one. This song, however, is fantastic.

Yes! Though her voice and the chorus sets it apart from a Muse song.

I've had this song on repeat for days... That's how much I like it. And the beginning is the best part of all {#Good-vibes}

I think I heard this in 1982. Feels very Olivia Newton John-ish.

Wow!  First time I have ever heard of this group.  The song really makes me feel good.  Let's hear more.
