...according to our on 12 March 2009.

The stylus has just dropped on a heavyweight 7" picture disc by Metric and their 'Help I'm Alive'. Immediately Business Lady and I concur that the vocal sounds a lot like the Deal sisters. It's a fairly polished indie pop/rock tune. It makes us think of The Breeders and Santo gold with some 80's stadium rock elements. There's plenty going on and it really builds into dramatic moments then drops back down again. This is the sort of thing you wish they were playing on the radio when your subjected to it. Ltd to 500 copies on Metric Music International. Phil's feeling this one.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

• Metric’s ‘Help I’m Alive’ is already a huge hit around
the globe, making it to No.1 in the Canadian
Alternative charts and Top 5 on Triple J in Australia.
• A beautifully unpredictable record of gilded
surfaces and textural density, and a seamless and
completely engaging mixture of psychedelia,
electro and rock, perfectly encapsulating the band’s
restless ‘dream state’ vision for the album.
• Available on limited edition 7” (500 copies).
