Video: Metric, ‘Youth Without Youth’ Seraphina Lotkhamnga on June 12th, 2012 Share this:Tweet Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email 0 </p> <p>So what if <a href="http://www.ilovemetric.com/" target="_blank">Metric</a>‘s “Youth Without Youth,” the first single off their new album “Synthetica” (out today via MMI and Mom + Pop), sounds a bit like Muse. The band’s “Fantasies” (2009) had a glimmer of glam-pop, and they’ve run with it by turning up the slink through Emily Haines’ vocals on the new record. Since the frontwoman’s idea of “synthetica” first derived from a “Blade Runner” reference, Justin Broadbent’s sinuously seductive take on the song seems more than appropriate.</p> <p><strong>||| Stream:</strong><a href="http://buzzbands.la/2012/05/31/stream-metric-speed-the-collapse/" target="_blank"> “Speed the Collapse” and “Youth Without Youth”</a> (previously posted)</p> <p><strong>||| Live:</strong> Metric plays the Greek Theatre on Oct. 9.</p> <div id='jp-relatedposts' class='jp-relatedposts' > <h3 class="jp-relatedposts-headline"><em>Related</em></h3> </div> </article> <section class="rail-right" id="featured-rail"> <div class="widget_text" id="text-6"> <div class="textwidget"><a href="https://bit.ly/4jcqs6U" target="blank"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" src="https://i0.wp.com/buzzbands.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/03135810/popularwithus2025-square-1-copy.jpeg?resize=320%2C320&ssl=1" alt="Best of 2025" width="320" height="320"></a></div> </div> </section> <section class="rail-right" id="single-post-rail"> <div class="widget_image_text_widget" id="image_text_widget-11"><h2></h2><div class="widget-content"><img class="image-text-widget-image lazyload" data-src="" width="100%" height="auto" title="Video: Metric, 'Youth Without Youth'" alt="" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;" /><div class="image-text-widget-text"><a href="http://roadhouse.permanentrecordsla.com/" target="blank"><img loading="lazy" src="https://buzzbands.la/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/permanentrecsA-230203.jpg" alt="Permanent Records" width="300" height="250"></a></div></div></div><div class="widget_image_text_widget" id="image_text_widget-7"><h2></h2><div class="widget-content"><img class="image-text-widget-image lazyload" data-src="" width="" height="" title="Video: Metric, 'Youth Without Youth'" alt="" /><div class="image-text-widget-text"><a href="https://www.physicalmusicproducts.com" target="blank"><img loading="lazy" src="https://buzzbands.la/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/physicalmusicproducts-230531.gif" alt="Best of 2022" width="320" height="320"></a></div></div></div><div class="widget_image_text_widget" id="image_text_widget-8"><h2></h2><div class="widget-content"><a href="https://buzzbands.la/advertising/" target="_blank"><img class="image-text-widget-image lazyload" data-src="" width="100%" height="auto" title="Video: Metric, 'Youth Without Youth'" alt="" /></a><div class="image-text-widget-text"><a href="https://open.spotify.com/user/buzzbandsla?si=bd3b7dc6d4cd44af" target="blank"><img loading="lazy" alt="Spotify" width="320" height="320" src="https://buzzbands.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/14205613/newspotifybanner-231113.jpg"></a></div></div></div> </section> <div class="main-left"> <div id="respond" class="comment-respond"> <h3 id="reply-title" class="comment-reply-title">Leave a Reply<small><a rel="nofollow" id="cancel-comment-reply-link" href="/2012/06/12/video-metric-youth-without-youth-2/#respond" style="display:none;">Cancel reply</a></small></h3> <form id="commentform" class="comment-form"> <iframe title="Comment Form" src="https://jetpack.wordpress.com/jetpack-comment/?blogid=124734382&postid=43285&comment_registration=0&require_name_email=1&stc_enabled=0&stb_enabled=0&show_avatars=1&avatar_default=mystery&greeting=Leave+a+Reply&jetpack_comments_nonce=3f2f86fb4e&greeting_reply=Leave+a+Reply+to+%25s&color_scheme=light&lang=en_US&jetpack_version=14.9.1&iframe_unique_id=1&show_cookie_consent=10&has_cookie_consent=0&is_current_user_subscribed=0&token_key=%3Bnormal%3B&sig=969219fe859b15b51d9d985b4848a60612075532#parent=https%3A%2F%2Fbuzzbands.la%2F2012%2F06%2F12%2Fvideo-metric-youth-without-youth-2%2F" name="jetpack_remote_comment" style="width:100%; height: 430px; border:0;" class="jetpack_remote_comment" id="jetpack_remote_comment" sandbox="allow-same-origin allow-top-navigation allow-scripts allow-forms allow-popups" >
