Today Metric launches Synthetica Hide+Seek, an interactive scavenger hunt that allows fans to unlock a stream of the band’s fifth, full-length studio album, Synthetica (MMI/MOM+POP), up to two weeks prior to the album’s US release on June 12.  The game, which asks fans to gather a series of images and keywords to unlock the early stream, begins at  SyntheticaHideAndSeek.ilovemetric.com.  These clues might appear anywhere and everywhere along the information super highway – from your favorite music blog to your dentist’s website.  Participants should keep their eyes peeled and band together on Facebook, Twitter, or in Metric’s forum to collaborate.   Happy hunting!
Metric has also announced an extensive U.S. tour for the Fall.   Purchase your tickets at ilovemetric.com/tour.
