Feist The Reminder Deluxe Edition Rapidshare S

'We don't need to fight and cry/We, we could hold each other tight tonight,' she breathes in the otherwise lovely 'So Sorry,' whose puerile rhymes are fortunately held up by the track's breezy sophistication.

At times, she borders on a kind of sappiness that seems better suited to Top 40 Matrix-produced pop songs than hipster-blog accolades. Feist's voice is cleanly emotive as she sings lines like 'There's a limit to your love/Like a waterfall in slow motion' (from 'The Limit to Your Love'), 'Piecemeal can break your home in half/A love is not complete with only heat' (from 'Intuition'), or 'Put your weight against the door/Kick drum on the basement floor' (from the upbeat 'I Feel It All'), crooning confidently but with a weakness, a fragility that comes out during the most sentimental lines. Because that's what The Reminder, like Let It Die, really is: a collection of warm, lazy music made for those summer afternoons that creep into evening before you realize it.

Her follow-up, The Reminder, will serve as proof that Feist's success was no fluke, as the album contains more of the same sweet, introspective lyrics and chords that float around love and longing (or lack thereof) like cottonwood seeds in late spring. Her pretty, sometimes melancholic love songs, her clear campfire voice, her vaguely jazz- and disco-influenced arrangements (highlighted no better than with her cover of the Bee Gees' 'Inside and Out'), and her association with darlings Broken Social Scene wooed critics and music fans alike. When Leslie Feist released her breakthrough album Let It Die, she became an indie icon almost instantly.
