Well, above we have the lovely ladies of Broken Social Scene. Leslie Feist on the left, Emily Haines in the middle, and Amy Milan on the right. All of them have contributed to the Broken Social Scene collective with some fantastic songs. And surprise! They have their own projects as well. Today we'll focus on Emily Haines.
She fronts the group Metric, a rock-dancey-new wave sort of band, but I'm not going to focus on that today. She has a solo album coming out on September 26 with the backing of The Soft Skeleton. They are mostly defeated or cautiously optimistic (but always moody) piano ballads with strong arrangements and rich texture. If you know me, you know I'm not crazy into piano driven bands, but this one is a keeper. And no, please don't think of Tori Amos or Fiona Apple or any other girl that plays a piano - these songs stand on their own.
