I first found out about Metric through Julian Plenti's music video for "Games for Days" where Metric's lead singer, Emily Haines if featured. I have to say, at first I found Emily's voice a little - I dare say- annoying, but it grew on me and after listening to a few more songs by Metric, I can't deny that it's pretty darn catchy. Fun facts: Metric is one of Twilight Soundtracks (I'm not sure what to think of this really...) and is also featured in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World where Envy, the main character's ex girlfriend, is based off of Emily Haines. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World also features "Black Sheep" by Metric. I have seen all the Twilight movies, and have seen Scott Pilgrim vs. The World so I find it a little funny I didn't discover them sooner. Metric is on the more pop side of the spectrum of indie and I'm still on the fence about whether or not I like it, but Metric is worth trying.
If interested, out of their singles, listen to:
"Gold Guns Girls"
"Stadium Love"
"Black Sheep"
Metric is generally pretty upbeat, so when I listened to "Dead Disco" it was a change, but I felt like it was trying too hard to be something it was not. It would be a good song, but I feel like it lacks something.
