About Feist

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 old and new--the Postal Service and Jane Birkin--respectively. Her 2007 album, THE REMINDER, topped many critics' best-of-the-year lists.
