For about a week now I’ve had Fantasies by Canadian indie rockers Metric in heavy rotation. It’s crazy the way things—or maybe people—evolve; the way an album can resonate at a completely different frequency depending on what’s going on in your life. When I first got into this album back in ‘09 I couldn’t get enough of fast-paced, Emily Haines-going-hard over the clang of drums and guitars tracks like “Gold Guns Girls” and “Sick Muse,” but recently it’s been the more subdued offerings like “Gimme Sympathy” that have really struck a cord. The video happens to kick ass also with Emily Haines taking turns rotating out with various band members.

Get hot
Get too close to the flame; wild open space
Talk like an open book
Sign me up

Bonus: I was torn between posting two versions of this song, so here’s the epic acoustic version.
