Rolling Stone reports that Toronto’s Metric will be self-releasing their next full length. The record is titled Fantasies and is due out April 14, 2009.

The magazine adds:

In a video interview posted on the band’s site, frontwoman Emily Haines says she did her “simplest and clearest” writing in Buenos Aires – where she traveled to escape the din of new music coming out of New York and the U.K. – including the first song she penned there, “Help I’m Alive.” Guitarist Jimmy Shaw, who co-produced the record with Gavin Brown, says in a statement that he had a specific sound in mind (“really big and really dreamy”). After meeting with record labels big and small, Haines adds, “We just said, ‘Oh fuck it, lets gamble,’ took a deep breath and decided to put this record out worldwide our own way.”

The group also contributed a song to the forthcoming film, Scott Pilgrim VS. The World which was directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Spaced).
