METZ - STRANGE PEACE Vinyl LP

Vinyl LP pressing, includes digital download. Since releasing their self-titled debut record in 2012, which The New Yorker called, "One of the year's best albums... a punishing, noisy, exhilarating thing," the Toronto-based 3-piece METZ have garnered international acclaim as one of the most electrifying and forceful live acts, touring widely and extensively, playing hundreds of shows each year around the world. Strange Peace was recorded in Chicago, live off the floor to tape with Steve Albini. The result is a distinct artistic maturation into new and alarming territory, frantically pushing past where the band has gone before, while capturing the notorious intensity of their live show. The trio continued to assemble the album (including home recordings, additional instrumentation) in their hometown, adding the finishing touches with longtime collaborator, engineer and mixer, Graham Walsh.
