Choir Of The Mind

Choir Of The Mind
- Shrink-wrapped
Itâ€™s time: Emily Haines is back with Fatal Gift â€” the first listen from Choir of the Mind, the Metric singerâ€™s first release as her Soft Skeleton solo project in a decade. Hainesâ€™ vocals are definitely the focal point of Choir of the Mind. She used her voice to create spellbinding orchestrations for an effect that is subtle and ghostly on â€œWounded,â€ lush on â€œFatal Giftâ€ and deeply powerful on â€œLegend of the Wild Horse,â€ which she calls her â€œsoft anthem.â€ Hainesâ€™ voice is the only audible instrument on â€œStrangle All Romance,â€ and she creates mesmerizing layers that drift and swirl through the title track, which includes a spokenword part adapted from a poem by the Indian mystic Sri Aurobindo. Haines recorded Choir of the Mind over several weeks in September and October of 2016, more or less alone in Metricâ€™s Toronto studio with a borrowed 18-foot grand piano built in 1850. Her longtime musical partner/Metric bandmate, James Shaw, helped flesh out the sonics with various instruments and rhythmic elements. (Shaw also mixed the album). Sparklehorse drummer Scott Minor, a member of the Soft Skeletonâ€™s first incarnation, returned to perform on â€œLegend of the Wild Horse.â€ Haines says, â€œThe writing and recording process was heightened and intensive, the two became one thing."
