Singer Emily Haines came up with the title as a name for what's described as a "particularly resilient skin-job from Blade Runner, a female replicant who voices an inner monologue of all your human imperfections."
She explained, "If you imagine a nightmarishly fake version of me as a pop star, that's her. And this record was about me saying, I'm going to give more to the music than ever, but there's no way I'm going to turn into someone like that."

Alright this may just be my AOTY so far, but I’ll have to see how the test of time treats it. Like it a lot more than Fantassies and Live it Out right now.
Still can’t get a leak… Sadface
