Emily Haines is all kinds of beautiful... Her voice is airy, her songs melodic and her photos that kind of simple-sexy that makes you wish every make-up artist in the world would just give it a rest. The sounds that come out of her piano are the kinds of sounds you want to hear at 3 a.m. on a Tuesday, when you're head can't stop murmuring long enough for you to get to sleep, or on a long Sunday morning subway-ride wrought with hungover bleakness. Her music is a celebration of bleakness, in a way that makes it ok to sing about it.
"Knives Don't Have Your Back" has been on my rotating albums list for a couple of months now, and each time I listen to it I like it more. Doctor Blind, the second track on the album, is a great place to start. You can check it out on the band's website, along with the new video for it. The video is less impressive than the song, with a very cool opening shot leading into a very boring walking tour of Target. In fact, listen to the song before you watch the video and I'm sure your imagination will do it better justice.
