Kalle Mattson - "Water Falls"




Passenger - "Let Her Go"



Well you only need the light when it’s burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low
Only hate the road when you’re missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

Feist - "Cicadas and Gulls"


here's Feist playing "Cicadas and Gulls" in the street with some slow-motion breakdancers.
your day: made.

loving Feist's new album. the more i listen the more emotionally involved i get. i remember "The Bad in Each Other" being described as an earth-moving anthem in a post-Junos article and I can't agree more. the song could move a mountain, which is fitting because Feist recorded it in the mountains of California (yes, somewhere called 'Big Sur').

it's definitely a departure from her earlier work, most notably 2007's "The Reminder." some might say that's a good thing, which i tend to agree with but it's important to not that what she's crafted here is a deeper, more exploratory album.  (this brings back memories good memories of talking about the album with my friend Kyle who described it as 'searching' while I described it as 'exploratory' and how we then proceeded to debate the difference. this was on a tuesday night at 3am after partying on ossington. good times.)

either way it's undeniable this is a great album and an exciting new direction for Canadia's leading songstress.

here's her holding her junos:


and here's her rocking the junos:
