Emily Haines/Metric/Fantasies¶
This post should be actually about Emily Haines. Instead it is about the Canadian band Metric, where she’s the lead singer of.
So while I actually wanted to write about her, I picked up an album of one of the bands she’s playing in. Well, this is my blog, I can do here what every I want. Live with it…
Emily Haines comes like the younger sister of Amanda Palmer, less rock, but the same potential. The album “Fantasies” will not blow you out of your chair. Not right away.
It’s not for dancing, it’s a bit for singing.
The whole album feels like a barrel of gasoline, filled right to the top, ready to explode. But no one is setting a light on it. So you’re constantly awaiting to reach the height of the album, but you don’t. You can feel the tension in the music, the hidden strength and the vibration, how it’s tightening it’s boundaries and twisting in its restrictions, just awaiting to break free.
I’m not through yet with the other albums available and that will certainly take some time as well. I’m not expecting to be disappointed.
