Emily Haines // Metric
“When we’re in the studio and I see someone dozing off, my first thought is ‘Ooh, that’s gonna be good.’”
In most workplaces, falling asleep on the job is not a good thing. But if you’re in Metric, singer and songwriter Emily Haines says it's a great thing. In fact, she and her bandmates love it when they catch each other napping in the studio. Because that means they're being productive.
On this latest Songwriters on Process podcast, Haines talks about how sleeping in the studio leads to creative breakthroughs. We talk about how running is an important part of her creative process—and how kitschy self-help guides can also be a source of inspiration.
Metric’s latest album is called Formentera. Listen to the latest Songwriters on Process podcast with Emily Haines of Metric now.
