Emily Haines is an artist that defies labeling. Front woman for Metric and part time singer in the Broken Social Scene she is proud to release her debut solo album, Knives Don’t Have Your Back this late spring on Gronland Records. Written and recorded over the past four years in Los Angeles, Montreal, Toronto and New York, the record sites contributions from the likes of Scott Minor from Sparklehorse, Broken Social Scene’s Justin Peroff, Stars’ Evan Cranley and Metric’s Jimmy Shaw. A distinct contrast from Metric’s bold, danceable sound, Knives is an intimate and subtle collection of mellow, 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
