Discovering a land of gold and music
I believe I have declared my love for Feist loud and clear several times on my blog. From the moment I heard Mushaboom on the Sunday afternoon after my 25th birthday in April on my way to Gelatt-ohs with Brandon, Nessy (with her tiny hands sticking outside the sunroof caressing the Southern air) and the Gregster on the wheel, I knew I would fall in love with this radiant music forever. Feist's music, words and enchanting voice have soothed me in these months of confusion.
From listening to Feist I earned a little bonus in the form of another great musical act: Broken Social Scene. Now, I know I am way late in the game, most of y'all are already in love with them. But I just recently found out (few months ago). And honestly, honestly, honestly, this video below is one of the most beautiful, endearingly dizzying imagery I've ever seen.
Feist guest sang for Broken Social Scene a few short years ago, her voice adds an exciting layer to the ambient rock the band members produce. When I listen to their music, for some odd reason, I feel like driving up to the Ocean just before sunrise, when the darkness sadly whispers her last words of Victorian elegance and the waves welcome a new era of light and life.*
But by then I'll be gone.
More videos with Feist and bandmember Kevin Drew dueling so fantastically:
Oh and this is Feist singing Lover's Spit live with Kevin on the piano. MESMERIZING.
I can't wait to have a little bit more cash so I can purchase their records. Fantastic fantastic.
* Damn, I miss being a filmmaker.
