I remember way way back catching an ear of Metric’s “Combat Baby” – an aggressive pop number that had me locked into this new found band. Over the years they’ve slowly built in an electronic psych sound that simply fits. Now with their new album, Fantasies, they’ve pushed to a new plateau. While listening to Fantasies I’ve noticed that their sound has almost doubled in size – levels upon levels of sounds, synths, guitars, and phases make this one epic all over. What keeps it grounded is what always has carried this band – Emily Haines. A pure voice with great song writing. If you haven’t had the chance to check this album out, I say go for it right now.
