Imagine Sun Ra time-traveling to the techno-dystopia in 'Blade Runner', Marty McFly piloting the DeLorean through the cyberpunk cityscape in 'Akira'. Now you're in the headspace to digest 'Metropolis', the 2022 album of time-traveling dispatches from Nashville multi-instrumentalist, producer, and rapper Namir Blade. Inspired by and named after the 2001 anime 'Metropolis' and its 1927 predecessor, these 16 tracks are chapters of a speculative memoir unstuck in time, a quest for joy as late-stage capitalism crumbles looking wearily to a near-future dominated by tech oligarchs.
