Metric shared their music video for “Too Bad, So Sad,” an explosive track from their upcoming LP Pagans in Vegas. The video features illustrations of instruments with pops of kaleidoscopic color. Watch it above.
Pagans in Vegas is out on September 18th via Metric’s own label MMI. It’s the first part of a double album, the second of which comes out early 2016. Guitarist and producer James Shaw said they were trying to make bold, fun music.
The songs that made it onto Pagans in Vegas weren’t written with an overarching concept in mind. With this record we were making music for the joy of it…we tried to be as bold as possible. All we want is to feel like all we got didn’t cost us everything, even if we never win.
