Feist is the solo project of Canada's 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 2004's 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 indie-minded blend of confessional pop, jazzy folk, and lo-fi 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. It's hard to predict where her melodies are going to end up; "Brandy Alexander" starts with a simple snap-pulse, 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 Feist's cracking, wistful vibrato. Everything sounds deliberate, but not obsessed over, like an e-mailed wedding invitation. It's a low-pressure vibe, welcoming and content to linger. And linger you will. --Matthew Cooke

 Music CD January 6, 2009
Bought cd for my wife she is really into the song 1234 from the ipod commercial she enjoyed the whole cd. Thank you
Great album December 12, 2008
I heard Feist few weeks ago and I got astonished! It's a beautiful voice in an amazing compound of sounds! The beauty of the simplest!
Love this album November 24, 2008
I had heard this before I bought it, and like all of Feist's previous albums it is fabulous.
Excellent (just another glowing review) November 9, 2008
I don't really have anything profound to say, or anything much different than the other glowing reviews here. I just absolutely love, love this album. I hear something different every time I listen to it and it's always good. Her voice is in a class all it's own, and it's so beautiful and lyrical to listen to. I love the different faces of Feist throughout each of her songs. This album came from someone who truly loves music, and who truly enjoys expressing herself through music.
I love Feist! And I dearly love this album.

I actually purchased this for a friend before I bought it for myself. I admit, I discovered her once I looked up that catchy song from the iPod commercials. I sampled the songs and didn't find them to be anything special- but once I listened to the entire CD, I fell in love with it. It's a feel good CD, and definitely a great CD to sing along with. My favorite song being "The Limit to Your Love."
