Australian duo Metals emerge with their debut single Drop Your Guard: a captivatingly twisted track that combines grinding guitar riffs and self assured vocals. The song presents the wonderfully abstruse relationship of man and machine with the juxtaposition of cold, clinical, backing sounds beneath feisty, soulful, female vocals. This song triumphs in its obscurity as it provides a perplexing mix of sounds for your mind to attempt to unravel, only to realise that its beauty lies within its intangibility. With this release Metals have created a sound that exudes modernity and thus immediately places them in the moment.
