Metric Artist Snapshot:

One of the many offshoots of the Toronto-based Broken Social Scene collective, Metric is a muscular blend of early-21st-century indie-rock, and pastel-shaded new wave. Fronted by keyboardist-singer Emily Haines, the band, which debuted in 2003, has a winning way with synth-driven pop hooks, best evidenced on its second album, LIVE IT OUT, which garnered a domestic gold album on its 2005 release.

Review

Uncut (p.70) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Writer/singer Emily Haines is still secretly one of the most articulate, compelling performers in modern rock....[With] a voice that's by turns scathing, despairing and, finally, defiantly hopeful."
Magnet (p.102) - "'Poster Of A Girl' sports a slinky French-pop backbeat and matching breathy pouts..."
CMJ (No. 930, p.6) - "...[A]n urgent and flexible dance-rock-pop album that fuses all three elements to conjure up the best of '90s alternative rock, with a splash of Brit intellect."

Title Note

Metric: Emily Haines (vocals, keyboards); Jimmy Shaw (guitars); Joshua Winstead (electric bass); Joules Scott Key (drums).

In the mid-2000s, Canadian indie-rockers Broken Social Scene proved to be something of a cottage industry, between their own records and such offshoots as Feist and Metric. The latter group, which features BSS keyboardist/singer Emily Haines, comes fully into its own on its second album, LIVE IT OUT. The mix of contemporary indie rock and early-'80s New Wave is buoyed by some colorful synthesizer lines amid the terse guitars and drums, and Haines's vocal presence is at once subtle and commanding.
