This week's Featured Release is Art Of Doubt, the latest album from Metric, another twenty-year-old indie rock band with a dependable track record. Plus, they're Canadian, a factor that somehow adds to the expectation of quality. Even more exotic than that, frontperson Emily Haines was born in India, although her parents are American. It's the seventh full-length record from Metric, with the Toronto group changing up their decidedly synth-based sound this time out. It's guitars in the forefront for Art Of Doubt.
