Metric system
Since 2001’s Grow Up and Blow Away, Toronto’s Metric has experienced a steadfast ascension in popularity. However, this year’s Fantasies just may have established the New Wave-tinged dance-rock quartet as the reigning Canadian indie rock kings (and queen). In fact, their album has even made it onto the 2009 Polaris Music Prize’s shortlist for the Canadian Album of The Year. We’re not sure if Emily Haines’ looks had anything to do with it, but fellow Toronto natives MSTRKRFT have definitely noticed. The versatile vowel-hating electronic duo has been known to push songs along at spazzy Mountain Dew-fueled speeds, but their remix of “Monster Hospital” is paced very well and has a healthy dose of Daft Punk flavor.
