Metric will release their fourth studio album, "Fantasies" on April 14, 2009.
"Fantasies" is currently being promoted by lead single "Help! I'm Alive" which has currently cracked the top 30 on the Canadian Hot 100. The video will premiere on February 6, 2009. The album will be released by "Last Gang Records" in Canada and independently in the USA.
The decision to self-release the album was not one the band took lightly. "We've wrestled with our situation over the course of the last three albums, trying to find the right deal," manager Mathieu Drouin told Billboard last summer. "We found ourselves in a position where the majors were interested, but we knew we had the ability to roll the dice and do it ourselves."
"'Long tail' artists like Metric that have been able to develop a following and career without major help are in the best position to take things into their own hands right now," he added. "We can make more money on a smaller volume overall if we are doing everything ourselves."
