METZ, the Toronto noise rock band, know that life is simply s series of moments; thus in their new video for “The Swimmer”, one man’s experience is shared through seemingly GIF-like moments. Going from being hit by a lady friend, smiling on panic propaganda on the news, or getting beat up by young punks, it seems to repeat itself in a perpetual loop. Deep within the video, there is a metaphor for modern-day society in America, but watch the Michael Leblanc and Scott Cudmore-directed video before to dig it out. 

“The Swimmer” is from the band’s second album, METZ II, which will come out tomorrow through Sub Pop, internationally today. They have also announced a series of European tour dates, which can be found below.
