Hurtling forward from the rough-but-beautiful streets of the Washington DC metropolia are the equally raw-but-harmonious sounds of Metropolitan, wrestled to perfection on their second full-length recording, "Down For You Is Up." The follow-up to 1999’s "Side Effects" finds the band in revitalized trio mode, connecting the dots between the fiery, T.Moore-esque guitar work of John Masters, the fluidly unpredictable bass tones of Shyam Telikicherla, and the bounding drum-slaps of kit-master Saadat Awan. Hypnotically mixing curving hooks, sliding chords, untamed basement-jam energy, and tightrope-walking precision, "Down For You Is Up" is a mesmerizing mind-trip through tunnels previously carved by master-diggers like the Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, Spacemen 3, Pavement, and Yo La Tengo.

Recorded in the hallowed chambers of Inner Ear Studios, where the walls are papered with the classic albums forged there by legends like Fugazi, Half Japanese, and the Nation of Ulysses, "Down For You Is Up" shakes with the echoes of history’s best melodic fuzz, darting quickly from the thick hookery of "Westmoreland," to the tabla-rain of "Girl from Montpelier," to the raw riff-stomp of "You Want It," to the tumbling bounce of "Wet Cigarette." Every head-infesting tune here is bursting with off-hand melodies, up-down percussions, and homemade sound-sketches, all wrapped in a bracing sonic envelope courtesy of primo producer Chad Clark (Fugazi, Dismemberment Plan, Beauty Pill).
