Metz announce new album, Atlas Vending

Toronto noise rock trio Metz have announced a new album. On October 9, the band will release Atlas Vending, their fourth album, via Sub Pop. The band have released a video for the first single, “A Boat to Drown In,” which you can check out below. The group’s Alex Edkins describes the song as being “about leaving a bad situation behind. About overcoming obstacles that once held you back, rising above, and looking to a better future. The title refers to immersing yourself fully into what you love and using it as a sanctuary from negativity and a catalyst for change.”

The album was co-produced by Uniform’s Ben Greenberg and mixed by Seth Manchester (Daughters, Lingua Ignota) at Rhode Island’s Machines with Magnets studio.
