Weekend Video - Emily Haines




Emily Haines is a big name in the Canadian indie music scene, known for her dark but infectious piano-driven songs. Her debut release, “Knives Don't Have Your Back” was critically lauded as one of the best albums of 2006, and the video for the single “Our Hell”, directed by Jaron Albertin, is one of the most original visuals I’ve seen recently. I believe the eerie effect comes from the use of heat sensitive film, but correct me if I’m wrong.
