Metric is a four piece band formed in NYC, based on various dates in Toronto, Montreal, LA, and London. Their fourth full length studio fantasies album is a lot to expect follow-up to 2005 highly appreciated LIVE IT OUT. Fantasy is written by the band in a farm outside Seattle, and front woman Emily Haines in exile in Argentina. The album was recorded in guitarist Jimmy Shaw own Giant Studio in Toronto and mixed at Electric Lady in NYC by Grammy winner John O'Mahony (Coldplay, The Strokes). A densely textured mix of modern psychedlia, electro and rock, this album is dream like quality remains true to the band and aesthetic while venturing into more accessible musical territory. In striking track''Gimme Sympathy''when sharp brass Haines cites the age-old existential dilemma -''Who would you rather be: The Beatles or The Rolling Stones''-this is because they already know her answer: neither.
The CD album will be released on April 14, 2009
