Leslie Feist has enormous credibility in Canada’s rock scene, even if you forget about The Reminder ’s enormous popularity and Metals ’ critical acclaim and Polaris Prize. The guitar picks up, snarling and distorted, but it’s soon replaced by a chorus of tightly-voiced woodwinds, sounding like they were recorded into a single, cheap microphone. “It’s my pleasure,” Feist growls in the song’s ostensible chorus, “and your pleasure.” Her voice is even lower now, grimy and masked in a recording that invokes lo-fi authenticity.
It’s almost a minute before she starts to sing, first we hear a single droning note, then a tightly picked guitar line. The song is sparse, bleak, populated primarily by Feist’s trembling and sweet voice. On Friday, March 17th, Feist released her first song in six years: “Pleasure”, from her upcoming record, also titled Pleasure.
