Emily Haines & the Soft Skeletons-Doctor Blind
Considering her great work with Metric, Broken Social Scene and Stars, it's really no surprise that Emily Haines's "solo" project is the sort that fans of any of the above three bands will be enjoying, as well. It's the sort of piano oriented dream pop blur with a near hypnotized or hallucination quality. There is a dark, eerie quality to most of her songs, and that loose sense of being carried along the melody. It's a contrast to the rock anthems of Metric, for sure, and even the ambient indie pop of Broken Social Scene provides a different atmosphere. And, since we're familiar with her voice and style, it's great to get this new feeling from an indie pop princess.
