Feist Won't Let It Die With Open Season

Feist's Let It Die has already sold more than 50,000 copies in Canada, but Arts & Crafts believes that fans still want more of it, so the label will release Open Season on April 25. The album from the Canadian singer-songwriter features demo and acoustic versions of songs, remixes, collaborations and songs that were recorded for Let It Die that didn't make the cut.

"After I made Let It Die with Gonzo [Chilly Gonzales] and Renaud [Letang], they made some remixes that clued me into the fist-pumping glory that acoustic songs can possess if supplied with the backbeat savvy," says Feist. "Then in London, a few months into touring the album, someone [Ungodly Hours] frisbeed an unmarked CD in a plastic slip on to the stage at me, and later in my hotel I listened to it as a pre-sleep nightcap.

"It was so bizarre and exciting to hear a song ["Lonely Lonely"] we had carefully dressed be undressed and re-addressed. Put into clothes it would have never thought to wear on its own."

The international indie idol and multiple Juno Award winner is set to perform with Broken Social Scene and be a presenter at this year's Junos ceremony in Halifax on April 2. Her "Inside & Out" is also nominated for single of the year. Feist is currently in Europe working on the official follow-up to Let It Die, which has also been certified gold in France.
