LA Times review
What a beautiful record. Truly gorgeous, the kind that wins both hearts and awards — perfect for a dinner party, a drive along Pacific Coast Highway, or a good, healthy cry. It’s the record that Leslie Feist, who records as Feist, has hinted at on four earlier solo albums over the last dozen years. On “Metals,” the Canadian American harnesses all her gifts to create something essential: the matter-of-fact gorgeousness of her voice, best illustrated on her massive 2007 hit, “1234”; the way she mixes complicated emotions with equally complicated arrangements while making it all seem so effortless; and a versatility that allows her to craft a compilation’s worth of sounds and approaches without lapsing into pastiche. Granted, “Metals” isn’t a particularly dangerous record; your mom and dad will dig this, so will your daughter. But at least they’ll agree on something. - (the whole enchilada)
Feist will appear at the Howard Gilman Opera House in Brooklyn on Wednesday, November 2nd. It appears to be sold out.
Both Feist and Wilco have new albums out:
