Metric

In February 2009, during the recording of the live acoustic set featured in "Twilight Galaxy," Metric was riding the wave of success from their critically acclaimed album *Fantasies*, which had been released the previous year, in April 2009. This album marked a significant shift in the band's career, leading to greater recognition and a wider audience, thanks in part to its catchy synth-pop sound. The performance showcases the chemistry between band members Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw, as they deliver an intimate rendition of their work. Notably, *Fantasies* included hit singles like "Help I'm Alive," which contributed to the band's breakout into mainstream popularity. Their decision to self-release this album also indicated a desire for creative control, which has been a hallmark of Metric's approach to their music.
