Feist - The Reminder 5/1/07
Anyone picked this up yet or grabbed an advance copy? I really dug her first two albums but thought the last one was subpar at best. I've seen nothing but positive reviews for this album yet and will probably grab it tonight.

I've listened to half the album now, and I have to say it doesn't do too much for me. Although that's not a telling sign of an album, since I usually need a few spins before I can determine whether I really like it or not.
The one track that stands out, and I really like, is "New Moon New Man". I replayed the song after hearing it the first time.

Keep listening
On first listen, it was ok, but it grows on you. Now I can't stop listening to it, 1 2 3 4.....
Anyways, if you wanna sample feist, here's a link to a blog that has the black sessions
Mods, I'm not sure if this is forbodden, so please delete if need be.

I like the new one though not quite as much as her first 2. If you're a fan of her work, I'd reccomend picking it up and it it does get better with repeated playings.

I guess it was bound to happen at some point. For the first time I've been sucked in by a commercial. I've been seeing the one for the new Nano with the 1234 song playing and now I'm hooked. I'll be picking this up sometime this week.

glad to see I'm not alone.
I winded up placing an order for the vinyl last night. Hopefully it'll be here by the end of the week. Not the instant gratification I was looking for. I was listening to the samples and I can't hardly wait to give this a full spin.

Just a little heads up - nothing else on the album really sounds like "1 2 3 4." It's a good album and all, but it's not exactly radio friendly aside from that song. She may end up being a one-hit wonder (not that that's a bad thing).
I like "Brandy Alexander." I wonder if there's a connection to the porn star of the same name (though I think she spelled it "Alexandre").

Isn't that how most people define a one-hit wonder? It has nothing to do with whether a band has a lot of great material.

And even, outside of the two commercials and KEXP, I don' think I've ever heard a Feist song on the radio.

"The Reminder" has made a new fan out of me. My Moon My Man is my favorite track (tho I really didn't think much of it when those Verizon phone commercials were airing). Sea Lion and 1234 are fun, catchy arrangements.
Also just purchased "Let it Die". Not just a great voice, but she's a decent dancer.
**Definitely check out her low-key video for One Evening
Heads up: She'll be featured today on NPR's World Cafe from 2-4pm. You can listen to it here

Finally received this today and had time to give it a spin and it's love at first listen. This will definitely be in heavy rotation the next few days. Between this record and the 3 Anna Netrebko cd's I just picked up I'm not sure I'll be doing much of anything else this week.
