    Metric sounds like a 90's alternative/grunge band... I love them, they are great. They deserve more recognition than most of the new bands today.

      It's not pop though really. It's more alternative rock, alt post punkish. I'd litterally throw up if I where listening to pop lol.

    First discovered this song on my Discover Weekly shit on Spotify last year. Still on my usual track rotation. I just love this song. There's just something dark and sinister and cold in this song, but at the same time, there's warmth (maybe it's the blood in the heart's pulse) and an accepting kindness to it. Hard to be soft, tough to be tender. Just like Nirvana's Love Buzz, too dirty for pop, too clean for metal. Both of them are just perfect!

    This song is so unusual yet so enthralling. It's almost defining a new genre of pop It's got tons of novel constructs like large interval jumps in the lyrics without sounding like a sound track. The single note guitar drone. So minimalistic yet powerful its effect on the mood. The nonstandard song structure etc.
