Feist ft. Ed Droste: “Cicadas & Gulls”
Leslie Feist turned in the latest in her growing run of Grizzly Bear team-ups (“Service Bell,” “My Moon My Man” remix, a live Wilco collaboration, etc.) for last month’s Glenn Gould Studio set to commemorate the CBC’s 75th anniversary: a duet version of hushed Metals cut “Cicadas & Gulls” with Ed Droste. Pro-shot videos from the performance have previously surfaced, and now the CBC have shared streaming audio from the full concert, including the gorgeous aforementioned take. Hear it (via LBYB / Grizzly Bear Galore) above.

Video: Feist: “Caught a Long Wind” (Live)
In celebration of CBC’s 75th anniversary this month, Leslie Feist performed a concert at the Canadian radio network’s Glenn Gould Studio with a little help from members of Wilco, Grizzly Bear, and other past collaborators. The set was comprised mostly of cuts off her new album, Metals, including a Mountain Man-backed version of “Caught a Long Wind,” caught on tape via multi-camera footage shared by the CBC this week. Check it out above. *Update* Two more clips are below:
“Comfort Me”
“Pine Moon”
Given their one-off live duet and Justin Vernon’s “The Park” cover, it’s fitting that Bon Iver and Feist just shared the Later with Jools Holland stage. Perhaps more appropriate, though, is that the pair have new records to promote — Bon Iver, Bon Iver and Metals — for which they’ve assembled some of their best respective live backing bands to date. Either way, they both delivered inspired, must-see performances for Jools and friends tonight. Check out videos of Bon Iver doing album track “Towers” along with Feist’s “The Bad in Each Other” and “How Come You Never Go There” after the cut. *Update: “Perth,” “Calgary,” and “Bittersweet Melodies” were also performed. They aired tonight:
Leslie Feist shared the first single along with a series of teaser clips back in July, but now the summer is over and her breezy new record, Metals, is here to stream just in time for the fall. What’s more, our first glimpse at how this new material shapes up live has hit the web, as well, in the form of “The Circle Married the Line,” the sixth track performed on KCRW with harmony backup vocals from the ladies of Mountain Man. One week ahead of its October 4th release, enjoy Feist’s fourth LP (plus the live clip) after the jump.
Feist & Friends Cover Velvet Underground Live
Earlier last month, Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood, the HotRats (aka Nigel Godrich with Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey of Supergrass), Soap&Skin, and Air’s Nicolas Godin, teamed up for a one-off tribute to the Velvet Underground in Paris, aptly titled Velvet Underground Revisited. The set was comprised almost entirely of covers off VU’s Andy Warhol-produced 1967 record with Nico, including a faithful take on “Femme Fatale” that featured a guest lead vocal by Leslie Feist. You can take a break from spinning her new single and hear a decent glimpse of the performance above.

New Feist - “How Come You Never Go There”
Metals, Feist’s forthcoming 4th LP, now has an official teaser single in the form of today’s premiere of “How Come You Never Go There.”
It looks like Feist is finally ready to unveil the follow-up to 2007’s The Reminder, as her official site and YouTube channel awoke from a multi-month slumber today with the first of twelve teaser trailers, simply captioned with “a glimpse.” While today’s cryptic time-lapse clip (below) offers little in the way of details, Exclaim points to an article indicating a new album is currently due out in October.
Last fall, Leslie Feist’s longtime collaborator Chilly Gonzales revealed that the pair had begun recording her 4th LP outside of Paris.
*Update: The 12-track album, Metals, arrives on October 4 via Interscope/Cherrytree. Check out a snippet of new music in the latest trailer and the tracklist below.
01. “The Bad in Each Other”
02. “Graveyard”
03. “Caught a Long Wind”
04. “How Come You Never Go There”
05. “A Commotion”
06. “Bittersweet Melodies”
07. “Anti-Pioneer”
08. “The Undiscovered First”
09 “Cicadas and Gulls”

Watch: Feist and Little Wings - “Look at What the Light Did Now”
On December 7, Feist will release the Anthony Seck-directed documentary Look at What the Light Did Now on DVD, bundled with “additional live and uncut footage from The Reminder tour, highlights from the Living Lantern secret shows, a collection of short films, music videos, archival clips.” Not only was the film named after Kyle Field’s 2002 song, but the Little Wings singer himself appears in one of said bonus clips (above), for a duet of the title track with Leslie Feist in a beach canyon.
While we wait to hear new material that Leslie Feist and Chilly Gonzales have cooked up so far in a studio just outside Paris, director Anthony Seck’s new documentary Look at What the Light Did Now appears to be a fine way to revisit her post-The Reminder solo career ascent. The film, which features behind-the-scenes footage of Feist’s work with collaborators, live performances, and interviews, will premiere at Pop Montreal next week, followed by a few screenings in London and the U.S. this October.
In other Feist news, she joined Grizzly Bear at the Hollywood Bowl last weekend for a live rendition of Veckatimest single “Two Weeks” and their Dark Was the Night collaboration, “Service Bell.” Check out some decent audience-shot footage of their performance as well as the trailer for Look at What the Light Did Now after the jump.
It’s been three whole years since Leslie Feist’s mainstream breakthrough, The Reminder, came out, but, according to the Guardian’s recent interview (via Exclaim) with her co-conspirator Chilly Gonzales, the pair are working on the follow-up right now (in addition to a film about “jazz chess”) just outside Paris. Gonzales was careful, however, to withhold any other specifics about when Feist’s 4th LP will be reaching our ears or what they’ve cooked up in the studio so far.
Meanwhile, Toronto alt-country artist Doug Paisley has enlisted the fellow Canadian singer-songwriter for a guest spot on his latest album, Constant Companion. Similar to her work alongside Wilco in Beck’s Record Club last year, Feist’s collaboration with Paisley, “What I Saw,” strips away the jazz-pop elements of her solo work for a breezy take on early ’70s folk-rock complete with honey-dipped harmonies. Check out a live clip of Feist debuting new song “He Was Free” and give “What I Saw” a spin below:
