Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton showcases the experimental side of the Canadian artist's sonic palette, blending synth-driven arrangements with introspective songwriting. Operating as both a solo vehicle and collaborative project, this moniker represents Haines' exploration beyond her work with rock outfit Metric, delivering atmospheric electronic compositions that emphasize mood and texture over traditional song structures.
Known for her distinctive mezzo-soprano vocals and keyboard expertise, Haines brings a sophisticated approach to electronic production within this project. Her contributions to Canada's vibrant electronic and indie music scenes—including her involvement with the influential collective Broken Social Scene—have positioned her as a key figure bridging alternative rock sensibilities with electronic experimentation.
