Feist announces new album

Exciting news for all Feist fans surfaced via Twitter yesterday evening as lead singer Leslie confirmed that she will be releasing a new album next month entitled Pleasure.

Her stream of tweets discussed the title choice in some profundity underlining that, for her: “the experience of pleasure is mild or deep, sometimes temporal, sometimes a sort of low grade lasting, usually a motivator.” She also revealed that she entitled the album Pleasure “like I was planting a seed or prophesising some brightness” and that her motivation in life is to look at things “with a brighter eye”.  

So, having seen the title and meaningful blurb behind it, it looks like this album could be an optimistic one, which is good news. This will represent her first album since 2011 so we’re hoping it’ll be worth the wait; given her exceptional previous work, one can cautiously assume that it will be. No new music has been released yet but keep an eye over the coming weeks, she's bound to drop something.

For now, enjoy her 2011 album Metals here.
