Listen to: Emily Haines & The Soft Skeletons

 
--> „Haines doesn’t take a predictable route to the inside of youre head. No grandstanding. She’s a true daughter of the revolution, and has inherited wisdom beyond her years. So how does she reach us? By quietly closing the stage door behind her, dodging the limelight glare for now. She slips around the edge of the stage, almost disappears, keeps to the shadows like her parents taught her, then is suddenly positioned right beside your ear. She’s speaking your language but don’t be so sure to know what she’s thinking – this might all be in code. She’s drawn in breath and drawn you in, too. You’re hooked but it’s not her fault: Maybe she was just Saying Hello.“ (Robert Wyatt)
