Editor's note

Feist, from Broken Social Scene to quiet solo work

Leslie Feist makes melodic, introspective songs that balance detailed arrangements with direct vocal delivery.

For a quick frame, listen to 'One Two Three Four' and then 'Caught a Long Wind.' They show the range from bright pop to quiet atmosphere.

Feist first surfaced in the Canadian indie collective Broken Social Scene around 1999, but her solo work carved out a distinct space. The 2007 single 'One Two Three Four' brought wider recognition, while songs like 'Caught a Long Wind' show her leaning into spare, atmospheric production. She writes without much concern for genre boundaries, which keeps her music feeling both precise and open.

Her solo work began with the 2004 album 'Monarch,' which included 'Mushaboom.' After 'The Reminder' in 2007, she released albums like 'Metals' in 2011 and 'Pleasure' in 2017. Her live band has included collaborators like Mocky on bass and sometimes Justin Vernon on guitar.
