Homefire - ``the antidote to summer festivals'' ?
Emily Haines, Metric's enigmatic, energetic frontwoman, has taken it down a notch on her debut solo album, Knives Don't Have Your Back, out September 26. On the 11-track set, Haines veers away from Metric's method of "taking pretty melancholy themes and putting a lot of energy behind them," and instead highlights dark themes with strings, horns, and powerful keys. "It's how people who've known me for a long time remember me -- as someone who plays the piano," Haines said. "All this ROCKNROLL came after. I thought I should release some of the work since I seem to still do it all the time and feel compelled to do it." (Spin.com)
