**Metropolin** ([Hebrew](/source/Hebrew_language): מטרופולין) are an Israeli [synth-pop](/source/Synth-pop) band.[1]

The band was assembled in 2005 by [Ofer Meiri](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ofer_Meiri&action=edit&redlink=1), an Israeli musician and music producer. He gathered several renowned Israeli musicians including [Dana Berger](/source/Dana_Berger). [Efrat Gosh](/source/Efrat_Gosh), although not officially a member, is the main singer on several popular tracks, and frequently plays live with the band.

The band became popular in Israel with tracks from their self-titled album *Metropolin*, which reached [Gold](/source/Gold_record) status[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] and won the 2006 Israel Album of the Year contest.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] These tracks, namely "Angels", "Without Saying A Word" ([Shalom Hanoch](/source/Shalom_Hanoch) cover), "Doesn't Say Anything" and "Sleeping Without Dreams", also received high amounts of [airtime (broadcasting)](/source/Airtime_(broadcasting)) in [Israel Defense Forces Radio](/source/Israel_Defense_Forces_Radio) and [Galgalatz](/source/Galgalatz).

## Musical style

Metropolin's sound features heavy use of [synthesis](/source/Synthesis_(music)), with more traditional [rock](/source/Rock_music) instruments on top. Popular tracks such as "Without A Word", "Angels" and "Dreamless Sleeping" open with a [synthesizer](/source/Synthesizer) [solo](/source/Solo_(music)).

Lyrics are dark and urban.[*[clarification needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify)*] Singing is often warm and feminine, but dynamic.
