In December 2014, it was announced Metric would be appearing in early 2015 on a new series called Sessions X alongside artists like The Trews, Dear Rouge, and Buck 65.
In a preview, Haines and Shaw revealed they'd be playing two new tracks entitled "I Forget Why" and "All In A Day".
They also will perform new acoustic versions of "The Police and the Private" and "Dreams So Real".
An unfinished track entitled "The Fatal Gift, released at this time, later ended up being reworked as an Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton track, and was released as the lead single for her 2017 record Choir of the Mind.

On May 11, 2015, Metric released "The Shade", the first single off their upcoming album.
The single marked a noted departure for the new record from Metric's more guitar oriented synth rock, and leaned more heavily on synthesizers, with electronic and pop stylings.

In June, 2015, Metric released a track from their upcoming album, Pagans in Vegas, entitled "Cascades".
They created an app called "The Pagan Portal" to debut their song "Too Bad, So Sad".
Pagans in Vegas was released in September, and appeared on the !
earshot National Top 50 Chart in December that year.
After recording an untitled companion album to Pagans in Vegas, some of it in Nashville, the concept was eventually scrapped.

Metric toured with Imagine Dragons over the summer of 2015.
They then toured Europe, the southern US, and Mexico throughout the fall of 2015.
The band announced on November 17 that they would tour the United States with Joywave as support.
On December 8, 2015, they announced a Canadian tour in Spring 2016 co-headlining with Death Cab for Cutie.
 They also performed in New York that spring.

Metric were nominated for Group of the Year at the 2016 Juno Awards.
Throughout 2017 the band took a break, with Shaw and Haines both contributing to the Broken Social Scene record Hug of Thunder, and Haines releasing new solo material for the first time in 10 years with her Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton record, Choir of the Mind.
