There is no end to how much I adore Metric. Part of my devotion stems from the fact that this band really knows how to take care of their fans. The band released their 4th studio album entitled Fantasies today and you need to download or buy it now.

Metric will be heading out on a US tour this June. DC Readers can catch the band at The 9:30 Club on June 19th.

Nice 3.5 star Review from Rolling Stone

This Canadian-American hipster quartet's first record in four years has an electrophile slickness, not to mention a set of catchy songs. Amid manicured synth-rock grooves, singer and indie-boy crush object Emily Haines delivers big refrains and spiky hooks, cooing about love on "Sick Muse" and going dark on "Help I'm Alive," a throbbing, Garbage-esque single that's bound to be played in any number of dingy indie-rock bars. Haines' lyrics don't always signify: "I'm higher than high, lower than deep," begins the vagued-out chorus to the slow-burning "Twilight Galaxy." But the tune is so fetching that you just don't care.
