About This Track

“Sick Muse” is the third single from Canadian rock group Metric’s fourth studio album Fantasies. The song was released in the UK for radio airplay on May 18, 2009, and in Canada on June 1, 2009.

The song was written by Emily Haines and produced by John O’Mahony. The song was written at Bear Creek Studios outside of Seattle like most of the songs on Fantasies. It also was one of the songs to go through Metric’s “campfire test” in which they strip down the song to just a piano and acoustic guitar with vocals.

    I agree with rogee - I think Emily sounds a LOT like Nina.

    I think the chorus sounds more like Nina Persson (The Cardigans).

    Awesome song. Is it just me that thinks the chorus sounds like Shirley Manson (Garbage)?

    LMAO EVERYBODY JUST WANNA PLAY THE WII. I heard it as "lead" from the first time I heard the song, but that's hilarious. I almost wish those were the real lyrics.

    lol @ play the wii. Another song where the lyrics will forever be misinterpreted. Wonder what Emily thinks about that.

    Play the LEAD, not play the wii. Do you really think Emily Haines would write a song about a mindsucking video game?
