Multitudes CD

MultiAward winning, hugely influential musician Feist returns with Multitudes, her sixth solo album and first since 2017rsquos Pleasure.Multitudes was produced by Feist with longtime collaborators Robbie Lackritz The Weather Station, Bahamas, Robbie Robertson and Mocky Jamie Lidell, Vulfpeck, Kelela. Blake Mills Bob Dylan, Fiona Apple, Perfume Genius and Joseph Lorge came in to mix, with Mills as a coproducer in the final stages.Multitudes took shape soon after the birth of her daughter and sudden death of her father, a backtoback convergence of lifealtering events that left the Canadian singersongwriter with ldquoNothing performative in me anymore.rdquo As she cleansed her songwriting of any tendency to obscure unwanted truths, Feist slowly made her way toward a batch of songs rooted in a raw and potent realism which is touched with otherworldly beauty.Largely written and workshopped during an intensely communal experimental show of the same name through 2021 and 2022, the songs on Multitudes developed in parallel with and were deeply influenced by the mutuality of the unconventional experience. The production, developed by Feist with legendary designer Rob Sinclair David Byrnersquos American Utopia, Peter Gabriel, Tame Impala was formulated to bring people together as they reemerged from lockdown while providing an outlet for connection between artist, art, and community.
