METZ are playing us like a fiddle, offering up a brace of new songs to give a tantalising look at where their heads are at on their forthcoming fifth album, and obviously we’ve been sucked in. ‘99’ shoves upbeat and atmospheric verses down concrete steps for a typically discordant chorus, and ‘Entwined’ takes a sharp left turn for a dreamy middle section bookended by joyful noise.
Clearly even with the fuzz pedals on, the Canadian band are still intent on knocking through the walls of sound that characterise their earlier work – all will be revealed in April, when Up On Gravity Hill finally drops.
