Formed in Toronto but, at various times, based in Montreal, London, New York and L.A, Metric boasts the sort of history that requires one of those connect-the-dots red-lined maps you see in an Indiana Jones movie. Their latest album, Fantasies, is no exception to this story: ‘The four us went out into the woods as a band with no expectations and did whatever we wanted’, frontwoman Emily Haines recalls. ‘We were coming from London so it was a serious contrast — it felt like we had left civilization and all that mattered was music again. When I listen to the finished record, I feel like all its warmth comes from that place in the woods’.

I set up a turntable because my friend left all of his DJ records at my house for a year and a half. It’s the only non hip-hop record, which is funny because all they were doing was trying to sound black. Either way, the record is warped and sounds awesome.
