Album Notes
Led by the vocals and synth of Emily Haynes, Metric (part of Toronto's Broken Social Scene scene) continue to bring the pepped-up indie power pop on third record, 2009's FANTASIES.
Editorial Reviews
Ever the empathizer, Haines calmly untangles her characters' despair, whether it's over the quietly pulsing 'Collect Call' or the driving electro rock of 'Satellite Mind.'
Spin
Ever the empathizer, Haines calmly untangles her characters' despair, whether it's over the quietly pulsing 'Collect Call' or the driving electro rock of 'Satellite Mind.'Entertainment Weekly (p.59) - [Metric] amp up the melodies on their fourth album, tapping synthed-out industrial beats to vent their frustrations about the state of modern affairs. -- Grade: B+Alternative Press (p.112) - 4 stars out of 5 -- FANTASIES flows seamlessly from song to engaging song....It's a layering of everything Metric have created in the past with a sense of immediate passion.
