i’m listening to her

over dinner with both sets of parents, us and our sister and her boyfriend, the questions of your all time favorite ___ came up a time or two. what’s your all time favorite movie? all time favorite musician? we didn’t dwell on the questions too long as you could really turn yourself upside down trying to pinpoint just one thing. plus we playfully argued over each one’s favorites thinking we knew our significant other better than themselves. (‘apocalypse now? there’s no way that’s your favorite!!’)

but for the few seconds i thought about it for myself, deep down i settled on feist as my all time favorite musician. there is something magnetic about her voice and her sound. there are some bands i feel passionately about, but often feel let down with certain albums or songs. but feist has me captivated with everything she does.

it was appropriate timing that just a day or two after i decided this, i heard that her new album is almost out and offering a free streaming sample on the site. so i wanted to share.

i love music, and love hearing new music, but i tend to shy away from recommending…i don’t consider myself a critic or in the know. it’s like what wil’s dad told me one time about wine. it doesn’t matter if it’s a popular, expensive, or even a cheap bottle of wine. if you like it, then it’s a good bottle. i like the music i like, but here’s a little taste of it.

a perfectly autumn sound to usher in the cooler temperatures, warm drinks and cozying up in a chunky sweater.

click here to listen to a stream of the new album ‘metals’….it’ll just ask you your email, and then send you a link to listen. it says ‘confirm & download’ in the email- it’s not downloading the album to your computer, but just access to the stream. just fyi.
