One year since they released Formentera, Metric have announced the album’s follow-up, Formentera II. The LP arrives October 13th via Metric Music International/Thirty Tigers, while lead single “Just the Once” is out now.
Metric laid down the initial recordings for Formentera II during the pandemic at the band’s Main Street Studios in Toronto before putting the finishing touches on the project earlier this year, at Motorbass Studios in Paris. Guitarist Jimmy Shaw and frequent collaborators Liam O’Neil and Gus van Go returned to handle engineering and production. The album will be available on CD as well as marble blue vinyl and sea glass blue vinyl. Even better, both Formentera and Formentera II will come on an opaque white double vinyl. Pre-orders are ongoing.
Featuring strings composed and arranged by Drew Jureka (Dua Lipa) and mixing by Stuart White (Beyoncé), Metric singer Emily Haines describes “Just the Once” as “regret disco.

Beyoncé made the biggest news of the night Sunday at the 65th annual Grammy Awards.
The singer led the 2023 Grammy Awards nominations with a total of nine. Beyoncé’s career total of 88 nominations set a new record — one tied by her husband Jay-Z, who earned five noms this year. During the Premiere Ceremony, the pop star picked up two Grammys, breaking her 28-win tie with Quincy Jones. She also won best R&b song during the live broadcast, for “Cuff It,” tying late conductor Georg Solti’s 31-win record. She wasn’t there to accept that award, having experienced a very L.A. annoyance — being stuck in traffic — but arrived later during the ceremony, with host Trevor Noah presenting her the Grammy while she was seated in the audience. Later in the show, she won best dance/electronic album for Renaissance, beating Solti’s record, with a total of 32 career wins.

The 65th Grammy Awards take place on Sunday 5 February, with music fans preparing for the rematch of the century: Adele vs Beyoncé.
Both artists are up for Album of the Year, six years after Adele took home the top prize for her third record, 25. The win over Beyoncé’s critically adored surprise album Lemonade was highly controversial; Adele herself famously declared that Beyoncé deserved the prize during her acceptance speech.
This year, the British singer is competing with her record-obliterating fourth album, 30, released in 2021. A four-star review in The Independent praised the songs as “handsomely crafted ballads about love and its various agonies”, with Adele’s voice, as ever, the main draw. “Adele possesses that perfectly imperfect voice, gargantuan and frail all at once,” critic Annabel Nugent wrote. “It’s epic without resorting to showy, melismatic affectations. It yawns into unexpected shapes and makes intonation fun.”

Not Alone, the debut feature from British FX artist-turned-director Tristan Versluis, is midway through its three-week shoot. Though set in 1957 on the East Coast of the United States, Versluis and his cast and crew are shooting in locations around England; he sent along a few exclusive early photos, which you can see below.
Lucy Benjamin, familiar to UK audiences from five years on the BBC soap Eastenders, stars as Eli, an emotionally damaged young woman who arrives at an abandoned family cabin with a head full of nightmares and a car trunk full of unburied secrets. Before long, her nightmares turn real and the things that stalk her mind become the walking, talking demons that are found inside everyone’s soul. Trapped by her own doing—or imprisoned by some unseen motion set in action by someone else—Eli soon starts to spiral into a reality she has lost control of many times before.
