A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

Artist Feist

  • Mary Rozzi

Anyone who has been following Feist since she started kicking up dirt with Broken Social Scene had to enjoy reading about scores of people feverishly typing in whatever words they could think of into their browser to figure out who made the music in that iPod commercial. The song, of course, was the infectious “1234” from 2007’s The Reminder, and the swell in popularity it brought her is only appropriate for a woman who gracefully juggles underground rock and adult contemporary. Feist has been called the indie-rock Rickie Lee Jones, and it makes sense, as she makes her way through lite rock, folk, bossa nova, and jazz on songs that will still sound good decades from now.
