Metric, Youth Without Youth

Mere hours after unveiling tunes off their just-released fifth album, "Synthetica," for a horde of adoring fans inside the cozy Music Hall of Williamsburg, Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw of Metric invited us into a posh suite at NYC's Bowery Hotel. There, the duo stripped away the electric throb of their new single, "Youth Without Youth," down to two-part harmonies, acoustic guitar and harmonica (!). All that remained from the original was a spare, digital beat, saddled up through Shaw's iPhone.
