We had a loft in Williamsburg [Nova York]”, remembered Haines in an interview with she.

“It was a time when we were desperate to find a place to live — we called it a loft, but it was more like an industrial space on top of a trucking company,” he said. The singer revealed that everything happened from an advertisement: “Believe it or not, the daughter of Paul Verhoeven [Helen]the film director, posted an ad saying, ‘I’m looking for other people who want to share this place, artist type'”.

The loft might even be gloomy, but it was home to many artists. “It was very, very dark, but I look back and over time… liars lived there, members of TV on the Radio lived there, members of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs… stars, a band from Montreal, also lived there, and it’s one of those stories: we didn’t romanticize it then, and we certainly don’t romanticize it now; it was definitely the 1990s and not the 1960s,” said the frontwoman of metric.
