stltoday The Toronto quartet Metric gained mainstream notice when it recorded the theme for a little movie called “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” and won multiple Juno Awards (Canada’s Grammys).
The band's new album “Synthetica” is a subversive blend of snarling, Blondie-ish rock, light and futuristic synth-pop and modern-world-weary lyrics. The band also landed another movie gig, helping soundtrack guru Howard Shore score the new David Cronenberg movie, “Cosmopolis,” starring “Twilight’s” Robert Pattinson.
How did you wind up working on “Cosmopolis”? When Howard Shore asked us to write the theme to the “Twilight” movie with him, we always hoped that would mean we could do something more substantial in the future. So when we got the call it was like, “Yes! A Cronenberg movie.” We were able to work in our own studio, and Howard would send us stuff. He still works mostly with pencil and paper, which was interesting. He would send us scores, and we would perform them, and we would send him some ideas we had, and he would integrate them.
