ROCK: Psychedelic, POP: New Wave



Details:
The Washington, D.C. indie rock noise pop trio Metropolitan is back with their third full-length
release for Crank Automotive Records. "The Lines They Get Broken," the follow-up to 2002's "Down
For You Is Up," continues the band's hypnotic mix of curving hooks, sliding chords, and raw basement
energy. It was recorded by veteran Washington D.C. indie pop/rock producer Archie Moore, formerly
of Velocity Girl, and also by Jason Caddell who spent years playing guitar for the Dismemberment Plan.
"The Lines They Get Broken" mixes the same elements of garage, noise, and psychedelics that Metropolitan
has become known for, as it maintains the same inspirations that "DFYIU" drew from such groups as
Sonic Youth, Pavement, Television, Guided by Voices, and the Velvet Underground.
