ALT CTRL is home to the latest and greatest in alternative music. Here, it’s as much an attitude as a sound—music that keeps things a little left of center and rough around the edges. This week, Metric wants to take you back with “Victim of Luck,” the first single off their forthcoming album Romanticize the Dive. The synth-washed rumination on fame and the growing pains that come with success has Emily Haines candidly unpacking her own foray into indie-pop notoriety (“I was a starving artist, but I was fearless/Now I don't know what we are, frightened of heights we knew”), all over the steady early-aughts sounds Metric has made their calling card.
