Feist's appeared on Sesame Street and has also released a tune dubbed "1 2 3 4," so it only makes sense that she's launched a new colour by numbers project for her fans. The singer/songwriter posted an incomplete image featuring numbers corresponding to particular colours on her Facebook page this morning. She says it's the cover of her upcoming...

Grizzly Bear Are Brilliant In Toronto

in
By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) June 8, 2009 3:53 pm
I think it's safe to say no one was as surprised as Grizzly Bear when their latest long player, Veckatimest, showed up at #8 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart. The band have been lauded in HTML script, music mags and by fellow artists alike, but they'd never been rewarded with 33,000 records sold in a single week before. It's a noteworthy...

Feist Successfully Goes Both Ways

in
By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) May 15, 2008 2:30 pm
Leslie Feist rolled into The Sony Centre on Tuesday night, offering up yet another stellar performance. It was eerily similar to her show at Massey Hall last spring, right down to the crowd makeup and dynamics. I do need to stress and will probably bring this up again that Feist and her backing quartet are immensely talented and put on a stunning...

Feist Audience A Little Too Respectful

in
By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) May 28, 2007 3:30 pm
Leslie Feist has attained that oh-so-seldom found niche in indie rock (it's a space also inhabited by Montreal's Arcade Fire): an appeal that extends beyond blogs, dirty clubs and college radio. The crowd at Friday night's first of two sold-out performances was as varied as any I'd ever seen, with toddlers and esteemed grandparents mingling with...

Feist — The Reminder

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) May 1, 2007 11:30 am
Canada has a long history of successful female singer-songwriters, with a hitch: most of the multi-platinum-selling artists of that persuasion aren't what you'd consider artistic. Outside Joni Mitchell, consider the following... Shania Twain's hits are all fairly embarrassing. Alanis Morissette made one artistically decent album and then,...

Broken Social Scene Kings Of Their Own Party

By Leah Collins (CHARTattack) June 26, 2006 3:00 pm
Sun-worshipping, pot-smoking and stoner rocking on Toronto's Olympic Island: sounds like hippie heaven. So why were 10,000 hipsters there instead? They've been coming to the island for three years now, beckoned out of their usual smoky dives to shoegaze in the sun. Maybe for one day of the year, nature-loving is irresistibly ironic. But it'...

Feist — Let It Die

in
By Lauren Ferranti (CHARTattack) May 11, 2004 12:22 pm
It’s a pity this review is forced to rely on simple words. More telling would be a soft gasp, a small patch of gooseflesh, an ear keening for more — the enchantment of Feist’s music lies in its ethereal quality. Like a flirty, crinoline skirt with layer upon layer of fabric, this is an ultra-feminine record. Elegance breathes amid sparse vocal...

1) Feist - "Mushaboom" (Live from the streets of Toronto, 2004, via CBC3) Let’s go back in time to 2004, when a little known singer-songwriter named Leslie Feist (who?) decided to branch off of the titular Broken Social Scene for a solo career.

UK quartet Clock Opera turned Feist's "How Come You Never Go There" into a tactful club banger, and damn, they did a great job.
