This courtesy of That Girl Needs Therapy. I hadn't heard of Haines before; seems that she now sings in a band called Metric (as to which I also draw a blank), and is somehow associated with the whole Broken Social Scene...uh...scene (then again, isn't everyone these days?), and this is a somewhat obscure recording of hers from a few years back.
The sound is basically indie-rock female singer-songwriter w/guitar - useful reference points here being, maybe, the Breeders and Throwing Muses/solo Kristin (the vox in particular sometimes being reminiscent of the fraughtness of that last), though more lo-fi than any of those, and less immediate to boot. I'm quite liking it, but it's not going to set my world on fire; best song for mine is opener "Dog".
