Metrics's Fantasies starts out with fuzzy rhythm guitars and ends with fuzzy rhythm guitars. I instantly liked this album and its sheik, but not necessarily new, sound. I so adore high chick voices singing Euro-pop. All the tunes here hit you over the head with its punky, spunky, over and over 3-chord rock. Best part; they are really a North American contingent based out of such places like L.A., New York, Toronto and Montreal, Canada. That classic tinny sound, punctuated by a speedy economy of guitar and drum loops mixed with dancey, yet serious party fun make this decade ending release some of the best stuff I've heard in a long time.
They are as slick as a raw oyster, a taste that is acquired. Catchy rhythms with Emily Haines's Dale Bozzio-style voice (circa Missing Persons) flesh this great pop album out.
