“All Comes Crashing” is the first sample of Metric’s upcoming album, Formentera. “The lyrics and vocal delivery are really intimate and vulnerable,” says lead singer Emily Haines. “It’s essentially a love song that goes beyond romantic love to be more an expression of solidarity with whoever it is you would want to have beside you in the event of catastrophe.” The music video for Metric’s “All Comes Crashing” is the impressionistic vision of longtime collaborators Justin Broadbent & Emily Haines. Drawing inspiration from the visual aesthetic of Terence Malik and a pervasive sense of foreboding and claustrophobia, Broadbent uses shifting color and light effects to convey a spectrum of subtle emotions across a distorted temporal plane.
