Fantasies is the name of the fourth album released by the Canadian indie rock band Metric. It was released on April 7, 2009. In the U.S. it debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Heatseekers, and peaked at #76 on the Billboard 200. In Canada it debuted at #8 on the Canadian Albums Chart and peaked at #6. In Australia, the album debuted at #48.

Background:

The first single release from the album, “Help I’m Alive”, was added to the iTunes Store on December 23, 2008 in Canada. The single is also available on 7” vinyl from their website, and was available on their “Jingle Bell Rock” tour in December 2008. On February 13, 2009, the album cover’s image was added to the song “Help I’m Alive” on their MySpace playlist. On February 28, 2009, the band added the song “Gimme Sympathy” to their MySpace playlist.

The album is available through their website, in vinyl, deluxe hardcover, digital, or limited edition packages.

The song “Front Row” was featured on the March 12th episode of Grey’s Anatomy, and released as a single on iTunes the same day. Front woman Emily Haines told Drowned in Sound that “Front Row” was inspired by the novel Great Jones Street by Don DeLillo.

According to exclaim.ca, the album’s leak has caused Metric to push the release date of the album forward one week to April 7. The website also reports that the band has a “special surprise” planned for Canada in promotion for its release.

    As a very long time Metric fan, I was a bit underwhelmed by this album after the initial shock of "new Metric!!!" wore off. Doesn't touch their other releases, but still got some nice tracks.

    i love every single song. [2] It's very rare that I feel that way about an album, but this one's brilliant.

    Fantasies is an album where i love every single song. hardly ever happens to me, especially regarding a band i'd only recently discovered as well, and now they're one of my favs.
