Song of the Day: April 27, 2019 - "Risk" by Metric
In the midst of their cross-Canada tour (an awesome show, with July Talk and Murray A Lightburn opening, by the way) Metric has released a brand new video for “Risk”
The gorgeously shot one-take video directed by Duane Fernandez follows lead singer Emily Haines around a giant warehouse space as she sings.
The song itself “addresses the disorienting speed at which our connections are made and discarded, where our emotional survival depends on dexterous texting, and our ability to communicate collapses outside our devices,” says Emily Haines. “Self-sabotage, defensiveness and cynicism cause things to end before they begin, and the cycle repeats itself. But all is not lost: There’s another way to leave the garden of Eden and I’m inclined to try.”
