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 the follow-up to 2005's highly acclaimed Live It Out. Fantasies was written by the band in a farmhouse outside Seattle, and by front woman 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 psychedelia, electro and rock, this album's dream-like quality stays true to the band's aesthetic while venturing into more accessible musical territory.
