by Metric

Though released in 2007, this album was originally recorded in 2001 and intended to be the band's debut. 'Grow Up and Blow Away' offers a fascinating glimpse into Metric's earlier, more electronic-oriented sound. The record is more indebted to the atmospheric textures of trip-hop and the melodic sensibilities of indie pop, featuring a softer and more melancholic tone compared to the rock-driven albums that superseded it.
