Release Notes:
Metric is a four piece band formed in NYC that has been based
at various times in Toronto, Montreal, LA, and London. Their
fourth full length studio album 'Fantasies' is a much
anticipated follow up to 2005's highly acclaimed 'Live It
Out'.
'Fantasies' was written by the band in a farmhouse outside
Seattle, and by frontwoman Emily Haines in exile in Argentina.
The album was recorded at guitarist Jimmy Shaw's own Giant
Studio in Toronto and mixed at Electric Lady in NYC by Grammy
winner John O'Mahony (Coldplay, The Strokes). A densely
textured modern mix of psychedlia, electro and rock, this
album s dream like quality stays true to the band s aesthetic
while venturing into more accessible musical territory. On
standout track ''Gimme Sympathy'', when sharp-tongued Haines
invokes the age-old existential dilemma - ''Who would you
rather be: The Beatles or The Rolling Stones'' - it's because
she already knows her answer: neither.
