Metric have confirmed the details of their new album Romanticize The Dive, and with their tenth studio record and lead single Victim Of Life are looking back on the drive of their early days.

“The song Victim Of Luck and really the entire album is about the romance of a less than perfect life,” Emily Haines has explained.

It’s about dropping the mask of self-consciousness and vanity. It was a long journey for me to get out of my own way and I wanted this song to be a rallying cry for that, better late than never. You can be as much a victim of good luck as bad. So when we started out yes we were broke and we were playing to ten people and there was nothing for us to fall back on but we refused to give up, and it’s not as though we’re all superstar billionaires now, but that was never what we were after.

“It turns out the grind is the thing you wouldn’t trade and the bonds you made can’t be faked. What we wanted is what we have and we’re not victims of anything. We dedicated our lives to each other and it’s the best feeling in the world.”
