Cut In Half and Also Double is the debut[1] album by Canadian artist Emily Haines that she self-released in about 2,000 copies in 1996 in Toronto.[2] The song "Carpet" contains similar lyrics and vocal melodies to those in "Too Little Too Late," which she recorded a decade later with her band Metric.
