Only days after 11 Reflections of Synthetica video clips were unveiled online, even more details surrounding METRIC’s fifth, full-length studio album, Synthetica, continue to emerge. “Youth Without Youth,” the album’s first single, will be released digitally on May 1st, but starting today, fans can head to www.ilovemetric.com to unlock “secret little prizes” to learn more about the song.

We don’t want to give away all the surprises – what fun would that be? All we’ll say is that in order to hear “Youth Without Youth” before May 1st, you’ll need to keep an eye on www.ilovemetric.com. Synthetica will be released in North America on June 12th 2012.

Metric is currently confirmed for select performances on the international summer festival circuit, plus a series of headline dates throughout Europe in June/July (ticket pre-order began Wednesday April 18th at www.crowdsurge.com/metric).
