Glitchy and glitzy synth pop, Pagans In Vegas blurs the line between robots and humans.
Locking us into an arcade-game soundscape, Metric's sixth album is encoded with dark truths about our digitised world. Menacing synths are released in riotous track Fortunes and hurtle us into The Shade's neon grooves that dance with Emily Haines' electric vocals on the grid. Synthesised lasers power up again in Cascades until we defeat the dark guitar riffs in final battle: Too Bad, So Sad. Futuristic synth-pop that explores the sinister side of the internet age.
