Canadian singe-songwriter Emily Haines released the second album “Choir of the Mind” on September 15 as Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton.
She unveiled a new music video for “Legend of the Wild Horse” from the new album. Directed by Justin Broadbent. The video was premiered exclusively on W magazine.
She is best known as the lead singer, keyboardist and songwriter of the rock band Metric and a member of Broken Social Scene.
Emily Haines told W magazine of the video;
"Society at large, humanity at large, is still drawn downward to our worst instincts in so many places. Our worst instincts are, unfortunately, situated right next to our best instincts, and the things that make us genuine and authentic are situated next to our vices of greed and violence and narrow-mindedness and bias.”- About the new album, she told Rolling Stone back in June;
"There's something so appealing to me about the idea that I dedicated my life to being a sound, which is a super strange mandate to set out, but I've done it and I am a sound. And to be able to on this record really explore through all the voicings – instead of doing orchestration as I've done in the past, I just did choral arrangements and I found that by layering all that stuff and allowing words to be said in different ways with different emotions and different character there was like – I just got the closest I feel I ever have to the essence of what I am as a sound. Not like a chick in a band or playing a synth or wearing whatever I'm wearing; just a human being who is somehow still going strong in a very unlikely field." -
