Leslie Feist, the Canadian singer born in 1976, was already one of the voices floating through Broken Social Scene's sprawling indie collective when she struck out on her own. The solo story began quietly with Monarch in 1999, but it was Let It Die in 2004, with the sun-dappled, lazy-Sunday charm of "Mushaboom", that made people lean in. The Reminder in 2007 threw the doors open: "1234" bounced along on a melody simple enough to hum after one listen, and "My Moon My Man" strutted on a slinky, stomping groove.
Between them those two albums sold more than 2.5 million copies, and The Reminder picked up 4 Grammy nominations, Best New Artist among them. Back home the Junos all but set her a permanent place at the table: 11 awards so far, Artist of the Year twice. She plays guitar, piano and banjo, and her records sound handmade and warm, hushed one minute and brassy the next.
Metals, in 2011, felt more weathered and wintry, and in 2012 she turned up in the least likely company imaginable, sharing a split EP with the metal band Mastodon. Pleasure followed in 2017.
