Feist is the solo project of Canadas Leslie Feist a prolific artist who has also played in one capacity or another with Broken Social Scene Kings of Convenience and half a dozen other bands The Reminder her third release comes from the same well of quiet appealing songwriting and delicate vocalizations that made 2004s Let It Die such a sweet treat This one is a bit more hushed and ballad heavy closer to Cat Power than Peaches with whom Feist has also worked with in the past but maintains an indieminded blend of confessional pop jazzy folk and lofi torch songs The comparatively upbeat single My Moon My Man splits her voice off into unexpected harmonies just dissonant enough to stick in your head Its hard to predict where her melodies are going to end up Brandy Alexander starts with a simple snappulse and gradually unfolds into a cathartic chorus of sweeping vocal overlays Throughout the record profits from a simple unfussy aesthetic that keeps the production minimal and the emphasis squarely on Feists cracking wistful vibrato Everything sounds deliberate but not obsessed over like an emailed wedding invitation Its a lowpressure vibe welcoming and content to linger And linger you will Matthew Cooke
