Feist Announces First New Album in Over Five Years Pleasure for April 2017 Release

The announcement has finally been made! After about five and a half years, the Canadian artist, Feist, has just announced her fifth full-length album. The follow up to 2011’s Metals is titled Pleasure and sees Fiest producing with Mocky and Renaud Latang again. The new LP is being released through Universal, whose listing says that 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,” as reported by Brooklyn Vegan. There hasn’t been any single shared for the new album or its artwork, but the tracklisting can be found below.

Feist is on track to appear at couple of festivals this year, including Eaux Claires and the Winnipeg Folk Festival. There will also be an appearance on the next Broken Social Scene album that is due out sometime this summer.

Apparently the announcement was also news to the singer, as she tweeted today at 1:20 PM that she was pleasantly surprised to wake up with the music world abuzz at the prospect of a new Feist album. She then tweeted out a thread giving some background on the album:

Ryan Fricke: Music is my therapy, which I could not function without. I am currently finishing my senior year a Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, Florida with a Journalism major and a Creative Writing Minor. I first realized I wanted to become a Music Journalist the minute I learned that I could get paid to do the two things I love most, writing and listening to music. I have yet to decide which I am more infatuated with but for the time being I will happily house them to their stalemate. My plans after graduation are unclear but I hope to further gain experience in this profession.
