Like all good things in life, you have to wait and Feist had done enough waiting to become famous. The Lacoste advert helped and Mushaboom is one of those songs you cannot stop singing.
The iPod Nano one with 1,2,3,4 has just sent everyone ga ga over the feisty songstress from Canada. In my humble opinion the following album track is one of the strongest on the second album behind “The Intution”, the track titled “I Feel It All” is emeded from youtube below.
Feist makes claims on a vocal style called Jahi and in the early days about 4 years ago she claimed that Jahi lets you as the listener find your own space within the song. Her track “The Intution” is perhaps the best example of her real vocal style with all the instruments stripped back and Jahi is why I love Fiest so much. However she also has up accessible pop moments too.
Feist is connected with the band Broken Social Scene and another member of the Arts and Crafters, Lisa looked like she had some new material was on the way, but I’m not sure what’s going on with Reverie Sound Revue at the moment.
I can barely contain my excitement, Julia has posted up a professionally shot and edited promo video for These Days, it’s on YouTube, link to it, embed it, email it, watch it.
Check out her gigs page because she’s touring again and this coming Saturday she’ll be screening the video, bluetoothing a free track to everyone at the gig in Cardiff and hosting the gig for us to download. There are tracks on myspace for you to check out, seriously I know I keep up with the relentless Julia posts since like 2005, but you must spread the good news
I podcasted Brandon in my last show. Following along the urban folk / new acoustic genre Brandon’s songs are simply joyful to listen to.
The lyrics of “Thirty One Hundred Miles” reflect aspects of city life, the song itself tells a story in itself. Even commuters who travel by car can feel a kinship with Brandon as he sets the scene of another tired trek on the same route. This video mainly talkes place on what seems to be a New York Subway train, as the track progresses we see various mad video montages, random events takes place inside and outside the train as we go on a journey with Brandon.
I really recommend listening to his music, and here is the hotlinked video from his site for you to enjoy, it takes a while to download, took me about a minute on 4meg broadband, but is well worth the wait.
I’d rather Dance With You, has to be my favourite KoC video of all time. It’s a cheeky little video where the Norwegian duo are in a dance class, Erik plays piano while Erlend changes the style of dance:
