Amazon.com:

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

Amazing Album!
This is a wonderful album, each song is unique and touching. I have been listening to it non-stop. Everyone should listen to this really thoughtful and original work by Feist.

Remainder bin material
Leftovers, barely warmed up. Does not compare to Let It Die. This lady is extremely gifted but this is not good, not worth the money.

Feist in her finest
Excellent musically and lyrically. Poetry in motion. I love listening to this album while "chilling" (for lack of a better word) at home alone or with friends.

Nice
I gotta say that my music taste goes in pretty much any direction that doesn't lead to speed metal or cheesy country music. I was at work when I got the chance to listen to free music online so I chose this album based on one song I'd heard: '1234'. I was pleasantly surprised with the entire thing. Some songs are a bit slow for my taste, but it's a good accomplishment when an artist actually has more than 3 good songs on their album. Nice to just chill out to.
