Feist Artist Snapshot:

Canadian singer-songwriter Leslie Feist has fronted punk bands, played in Broken Social Scene, and backed her pal Peaches, but is most beloved for her introspective folk-pop solo albums, which she releases between side jaunts. She possesses an ethereal voice that slides effortlessly into a haunting soprano, and applies this to melodic tunes that brush up against electronica, Tin Pan Alley pop, and good old-fashioned confessional folk. She has been remixed by various DJs and collaborated with hipsters both current (the Postal Service) and vintage (Jane Birkin). Her 2007 album, THE REMINDER, topped many critics' best-of-the-year lists.

Review

Rolling Stone (p.114) - Included in Rolling Stone's "50 Top Albums of the Year 2007" -- "Feist reaches out with gorgeously lovelorn ballads..."
Spin (p.85) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[L]isten through headphones and the album offers up bits of subdermal weirdness, as in 'Honey, Honey,' where luscious harmony vocals tangle with field-recording white noise."
Magnet (p.96) - "Even from a secular point of view, it's difficult to characterize Leslie Feist's voice as anything but a divine gift."

Recording information: 2006.

Canadian singer-songwriter Leslie Feist first gained prominence working with the Montreal shock-rapper Peaches and later the Toronto-based collective Broken Social Scene, but with the release of 2004's masterful LET IT DIE, she embarked on a solo career that quickly eclipsed her previous work. Following the pleasant but inessential remix album OPEN SEASON, 2007's THE REMINDER is Feist's true follow-up to LET IT DIE, and it deepens and solidifies that album's strengths. Combining jazzy torch songs with acoustic, folkish ballads, THE REMINDER is as quietly powerful as her Broken Social Scene bandmate Emily Haines's equally subdued solo debut, KNIVES DON'T HAVE YOUR BACK, but with a jazzy edge that recalls Nina Simone on tunes like "Sea Lion" (a standard also recorded by Simone) and the lush single "My Moon, My Man."

Feist paints a surreal landscape of the world around her. Her voice is always strong and expresses the feelings and moods behind her songs. The entire CD is filled with strong tracks, including The Water, My Moon My Man, and the single 1 2 3 4. Those seeking a soothing and sometimes haunting chanteuse should keep Feist high on their list of artists to keep a watch on.
