Its not going to be to everyones taste here, but for my money Metric's 'Fantasies' record is album of the year.

There a Canadian band and specialise is a rather fine blend of electro indie rock. But, and here's the big but, despite a youthful fanbase they are definitely a band for adults. There bassist guitarists and drummer are techncially excellent, and all in the mid to late thirties. Their lead Singer Emily Haines has also sung with Broken social Scene, and channels Joan Jet via Portishead.

In short there excellent. I saw them live on Wednesday, and they were absolutly fantastic. They deserve to be your favorite new band.
