Canadian Treasure

It’s an actual tragedy that I’ve never written up Feist. It’s Feist. She is unquestionbly among the canonized saints of this site, a brilliant and peerless voice that is at once among the most unique and yet informs so many. As with some of my other very favorites there are elements of Feist that feel so wholly incorporated into the intrinsic fabric of my taste that she’s a kind of blind spot by virtue of brilliance. Why would I write about Feist, everyone knows about Feist, THE Leslie Feist. Feist. Feist is a keystone of, like, music, right? Is that…not? Right? Who could exist in this world that does not listen to Feist? That does not already know that Feist is a genius? That has not been laid bare before her crystalline vibrato? “Reminders” is universal, surely.
