Espresso and music. Music and occasional. Two nice tastes that style nice collectively. Within the Venn diagram of espresso and music, the juicy middle is probably the most populated. Baristas turned musicians, musicians turned espresso roasters, vinyl cafes, even the espresso collab, the intersection of those two inventive endeavors has many expressions. And the most recent chapter within the espresso/music canon comes from Metric Espresso. The Chicago-based roaster has teamed up with post-rock band This Will Destroy You for a particular launch espresso and a two-day pop-up in Brooklyn, that includes some very particular friends.

A part of Metric’s all-new Artist Sequence, a “collaborative challenge bridging the hole between sonic landscapes and the bodily worlds of music and occasional,” the espresso was chosen after a number of cuppings with TWDY guitarist Christopher King. And they’re kicking issues off with a bang. The espresso for Artist Sequence 001 is the El Rejo Gesha, a wash processed espresso from Peruvian producer and Origin Espresso Lab proprietor Jose Rivera. Grown at 1,850 MASL on only a single hectare of Rivera’s farm, the espresso has notes of honeysuckle, blood orange, and tamarind.

 

Coming in each 225g entire bean bins and 12oz cans of snapchilled chilly brew, the design options artwork from the band’s seminal 2007 self-titled album. On pre-order now, bins retail for $28 and four-packs of chilly brew $24. Orders are scheduled to start delivery out January eighth.

To rejoice the Artist Sequence launch, Metric can be internet hosting a two-day pop-up occasion at Public Data in Brooklyn. Happening Friday and Saturday, December twenty ninth and thirtieth, the model can be serving up free oat milk drinks whereas King spins information. Becoming a member of King within the DJ sales space can be Robi Gonzalez of shoegaze/post-punk band A Place to Bury Strangers (Friday) and George Clarke of black steel/post-rock band Deafheaven. It’s going to be loud and atmospheric I assume is after I’m making an attempt to say right here.

The pop-up is free to attend, however an RSVP is required, which might be performed right here and right here for Friday and Saturday, respectively.
