Metric are getting ready to release their highly-anticipated fifth album ‘Synthetica’, and have now unveiled the full tracklisting.

The album, which has an anticipated UK release date of the 18th June, will be self-released globally on the band’s own label MMI, and features the following eleven tracks.

1. Artificial Nocturne
2. Youth Without Youth
3. Speed The Collapse
4. Breathing Underwater
5. Drums So Real
6. Lost Kitten
7. The Void
8. Synthetica
9. Clone
10. The Wanderlust
11. Nothing But Time

The band will release their first single to be taken from the full-length, ‘Youth Without Youth’, digitally on the 1st May.

Speaking of the album’s artwork - pictured above - lead singer Emily Haines comments: ‘We wanted the artwork for Synthetica to be thought provoking and a little disorienting, an optical illusion which asks you to stop for a moment and consider what you are looking at. We were very influenced by images from the Radical architecture movement of the 1960s, and Justin’s representation of the natural world seen through a physically impossible window - or is it a stage? - struck us immediately as the right cover for this album.’

Metric have also unveiled three UK dates, due to take place in July.
