Emily Haines & Soft Skeletons Knives Don’t Have Your Back Label: Last Gang Release Date:09/26/2006

You already know Emily Haines from her other band Metric, or maybe even Broken Social Scene. Now you will know her as an accomplished solo artist with her debut full length, Knives Don’t Have You Back.

All songs are beautiful at the core, with Haines’ cool and sultry voice and her elegant piano, she invokes thoughts of a beautiful woman, smoking behind a grand piano, with a bottle of Pinot, which is something I would love to come home to. The Soft Skeletons, a band comprise of members of BSS and Metric add elegant horns and string arrangements, to compliment Haines’ gorgeous piano ballads.

For those of you, who wish this is as fun and danceable as Feist’s album, will be a tad disappointed, for this is a sophisticated and and mature release.
