Feist announces new LP, 'Pleasure'
Details of Feist‘s anticipated new LP, her first first in six years, have been announced. The album is called Pleasure and will be out April 28 via Universal. Exclaim! notes that it was produced Feist, Mocky and Renaud Latang and Universal’s listing says the album is “an exploration into emotional limits,” touching on “loneliness, private ritual, secrets, shame, mounting pressures, disconnect, tenderness, rejection, care and the lack thereof.” Feist hasn’t shared a song or the LP artwork, but you can check out the tracklist below.
UPDATE: Artwork and notes from Feist (via Twitter) below.
Feist’s only announced dates this year are festivals: Eaux Claires and Toronto’s Field Trip in June, and the Winnipeg Folk Festival in July. She’ll also be on the new Broken Social Scene album.

I've been so inward facing during the making of this record that I hadn't quite prepared myself to face it, and myself, outward again.

So here's what I can tell you….
I made this record last winter with 2 of my closest friends, Mocky and Renaud LeTang.— Feist (@FeistMusic) March 14, 2017
I was raw and so were the takes.

Our desire was to record that state without guile or go-to's and to pin the songs down with conviction and our straight up human bodies.

I titled the album Pleasure like I was planting a seed or prophecising some brightness.

The experience of pleasure is mild or deep, sometimes temporal, sometimes a sort of low grade lasting, usually a motivator.

If the way you look at things is how they look then my motivation is to look with a brighter eye.
