Metric’s lost debut album for the first time available in the UK.‘Grow Up And Blow Away’ gives listeners a chance to get to know Metric more intimately, as a charming singer / songwriter band.The album was recorded between 1999 and 2001, and meant to be Metric's debut LP, but got lost in a label shuffle. It was available on the internet only previously, but now this marks its first hard release. Haines' effortless charisma and her arresting songwriting shines through. Despite its textural richness, it's feather-light. In fact, Metric's neophyte effort might be their best. ·“…Paired with early Metric's less-is-more approach, it makes for an immersive record that feels much fresher than its long incubation period would seem to warrant”. – Pitchfork
