The return of Feist

Dear Leslie Feist, we heart your crafty pop and the four-year layover
between your last album and your latest album, Metals, was worth the
wait.

If The Reminder was the album that taught the world how to
count to four and garnered a fistful of Grammy nominations, her latest
recording, Metals
might be the album that reminds us again that Feists quirky pop can be
both complex and catchy, hopefully leading to some actual Grammy
hardware.

Recorded this past February in an abandoned barn at the top of a
California cliff, Metals is what you might expect from a punk
singer turned indie-pop darling who read Steinbeck in her downtime.
Which is to say the songs are confidently all over the place, sometimes
chaotically noisy, sometimes hauntingly quiet, and always carefully
thought out. Jaelyn Molyneux
