Metric are my favourite thing to come out of Canada since maple syrup and just like the ultimate pancake topping they’re tasty, sticky and delicious (I apologise for that slightly tedious and broken simile). I don’t know whether it’s just because they are female fronted and a bit grungy at times but they always remind me of Garbage – this is good.

  Bonobo is a British DJ, musician and producer from Brighton.
