Up On Gravity Hill (CD)
METZ
Amoeba Review
Canadian punks Metz move ever so subtly into the darkness on Up On Gravity Hill. There's still plenty of punk rock ferocity and grittiness in the trio's songwriting; there's just a little bit of simmering vehemence and dark atmospherics to add a slight post-punk bent to these turbulent tracks. They're urgent and bristling, sustained in intensity and utterly gripping. Guest appearances from Owen Pallett and violin ("No Reservation/Love Comes Crashing") add an expressive, moving quality and vocals from Black Mountain's Amber Webber ("Light Your Way Home") create a haunted, harrowing feel.
