Metric (Again)

Today’s artist of the day is Metric. As detailed in a previous Artist of the Day, Metric is a new age/indie/new wave rock band. Originally formed in 1998 in New York City, they are currently based in Toronto, Ontario and Oakland, California. Their latest album was released last week, entitled Fantasies. The album received a 6.4 on Pitchfork, saying in the new album “there is a dreamy quality here that eschews the vague, easy rhymes and lyrical polemics of past Metric records in favor of romance and sex.”

From the most recent album, Gimme Sympathy:

An acoustic performance of Help I’m Alive:
