Emily Haines is the crowd surfing rock voice for Metric and part time singer in Canada’s Broken Social Scene. On her solo album she offers a distinct contrast from Metric’s bold, danceable sound, Knives don’t have Your back is an intimate affair with piano-driven tunes complimented by soft string and horn arrangements.
“…In front-woman Emily Haines they have a true star. Equally at home bashing the keyboards and shaking her blonde mane like a disgruntled diva, she melted many a floppy-fringed indieboy's heart at the front.” London, Evening Standard
And here’s some more excitement for you:
