Art of Doubt by Metric

Out September 21 on MMI. The Canadian indie rockers were originally supposed to follow their disappointing 2015 album Pagans in Vegas with a quick follow-up the next year. But that planned project was scrapped, and the band took a few years off. But Emily Haines & co. are back with an entirely new set, recorded in their Toronto studio with producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Nine Inch Nails).
