Free Music Notes for Knives Don't Have Your Back (Dig)
Free Music Review: Truely moving and inspiring!
Hit: 5 Stars
I am a huge Metric fan from seeing them in concert to listening to "Live It Out" nonstop for almost all of 2005 into 2006. So when I discovered that Emily Haines was releasing a solo album consisting of her and the piano w/ dark and politically moving songs I knew I had to purchase it. My first instant favorite song was Track #2 "Doctor Blind" which is understanding on so many levels w/ an excellent video to accompany it. Of course I love Track #1 "Our Hell" especially the line "our hell is a good life." Track #3 "Crowd Surf Off A Cliff" is an achning beautiful song contenting the line I love "if you find me hide me I don't know where I've been." In Track #4 "Detective Daughter" I love the line "There are so many skirts under the table. None of these long legs are mine. She calls around finds me crying. Wish I were capable of lying sometimes." And then as the music drifts off Emily swoons "Love is hell,hell is love. Hell is asking to be loved." I just adore that line it is like no other. Track #8 "Reading In Bed" contents the thoughtful line "with all the luck you had why are your songs so sad sing from the book you were reading in bed and took to heart." It makes you wonder if she is talking about herself b/c Emily Haines has said in many interviews relating to this album that it was a self discovery for her and that it was much more personal than anything she could have done w/ Metric. As a whole the album is understanding and a thoughtful piece of work that is at times depressing but relieving in a sense b/c who can't relate to feeling terrible or singled out. I love the style of the writing and her whispering voice is so breathtaking and almost sympathetic at the same time. Just a true gem!
Knives Don't Have Your Back (Dig) Poster
Four years and four cities later, Metric's Emily Haines is finally (almost) ready to release her debut solo effort. On September 26, Last Gang Records will release Knives Don't Have Your Back, which was written and recorded in Los Angeles, Montreal, Toronto, and New York over the last four years, and features contributors including Sparklehorse's Scott Minor, Broken Social Scene's Justin Peroff, Stars' Evan Cranley, and Metric's Jimmy Shaw. Though it took Haines four years to complete the album, the singer says she'd been plotting this for years. Among those songs are a track that was written while Haines was studying electroacoustics in Montreal, while some were recorded in Toronto in the winter of 2002, shortly after the death of Haines' father. According to the label, the album is intimate and mellow, featuring piano-driven tracks with string and horn arrangements.Alternative Rock Music CDs
