''Knives Don't Have Your Back'' is the first album to be officially released by Canadian artist Emily Haines (and the Soft Skeleton). The album was released in September 2006 on Last Gang Records . It debuted at 28 in Canada and has sold 20,000 copies there. The album is a collection of piano-driven songs backed with soft strings and horns and is said to feature guest spots by Sparklehorse 's Scott Minor, members of Stars , Broken Social Scene and Metric . Although she is releasing this solo record, she has stated that Metric is her first priority. She is quoted as saying the following: “When I was a little kid…I would creep downstairs to the piano and write rudimentary songs about imaginary places. I’m told the first song I ever wrote was a love song to a cranberry tree. I always used the mute pedal. I hated the idea of anybody hearing me. Everywhere I’ve lived while working with Metric, I’ve written songs on the piano and played them for no one. On the advice of a friend, I decided I’d better start recording them before they were forgotten. Four meandering years later I ended up with this collection of songs featuring a few of my favorite people, a group I call The Soft Skeleton.” The album's art is based on that of, Haines' late father, Paul Haines 's album with Carla Bley , '' Escalator Over The Hill ''.
