"Today, Edkins shares the extremely catchy new single "Might See You There," a melodic scrawl with big riffs, tingly little xylophone notes, and sweet vocal harmonies on the hook." @stereogum.com @weirdnightmare.bsky.social stereogum.com/2487859/metz...

5 years of METZ's Atlas Vending!
Change is inevitable if you’re lucky, says Alex Edkins. “Our goal is to remain in flux, to grow in a natural and gradual way. We’ve always been wary to not overthink the music we love but also not satisfied until we’ve accomplished something that pushes us forward.”

“‘Forever Elsewhere’ is the most optimistic song I’ve written to date. I wanted to send an unequivocal positive message into the world. The line ‘Love, it will come,’ summarizes the overall theme: if things feel hopeless and the world is bleak, don’t give up, keep pushing.
