Bob's Pick #3.

Metric - Fantasies

Popular with the trendy kids and critics of Toronto (they formed in Toronto), the band really does deserve much of the praise they've received. Vocalist Emily Haines (also a member of Broken Social Scene) is the focus as she uses her strong voice to guide each song's oddly compelling melodies through electric guitars, keyboards and vaguely electronic sounding beats. More pop music should be going in this direction. With a new song prominently featured in the movie "Scott Pilgrim vs The World", one hopes more people will notice.
