Feist is the solo project of Canada's Leslie Feist, a prolific artist who has also played in one capacity or another with Broken Social Scene, Kings of Convenience and half a dozen other bands. The Reminder, her third release, comes from the same well of quiet, appealing songwriting, and delicate vocalizations that made 2004's Let It Die such a sweet treat. This one is a bit more hushed and ballad heavy, closer to Cat Power than Peaches (with whom Feist has also worked with in the past) but maintains an indie-minded blend of confessional pop, jazzy folk, and lo-fi torch songs. The comparatively upbeat single "My Moon My Man" splits her voice off into unexpected harmonies, just dissonant enough to stick in your head. It's hard to predict where her melodies are going to end up; "Brandy Alexander" starts with a simple snap-pulse, and gradually unfolds into a cathartic chorus of sweeping vocal overlays. Throughout, the record profits from a simple, unfussy aesthetic that keeps the production minimal and the emphasis squarely on Feist's cracking, wistful vibrato. Everything sounds deliberate, but not obsessed over, like an e-mailed wedding invitation. It's a low-pressure vibe, welcoming and content to linger. And linger you will. --Matthew Cooke

- Das fantastico
This cd has been in my 3 disc cd player since I bought it in 08. It's 2010 now. It's fantastic, people. senoritas voice is special, for sure.
Rating: - I like it.
I really enjoy My Moon, My Man, So Sorry, I Feel It All, and Sealion to name a few. Its good music.
Rating: - Up there with "Kind of Blue"
This is one of the best albums I've ever heard.Every song is a gem.Feist uses her voice like Kenny Burrell uses his axe in Midnight Blue.Every note is something to hang on to.You'll savor every inflection, and every nuance because you know she means it.This album has songs that range from jazz to folk to rock to disco.If you like Nina Simone, you'll love Feist.The reminder is much better on the whole than her debut.
Rating: - Simply great music
If you have anything that resembles mainstream taste in music, you will really love this CD. Feist is talented. The recording is excellent and will be one of your favorites.

- Disappointing despite the reviews
I bought the album because of the rave reviews and because I like folksy music, but I was disappointed.The songs seemed boring, the album one-note.I couldn't listen to it more than a couple of times, and have since re-sold the album for things more to my taste.
