A decade on from her world-conquering hit ‘1234’, four-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter FEIST announces her return to Australia this November and December. The celebrated Canadian artist will play three East Coast shows, gracing the stages of Brisbane’s The Tivoli on Tuesday 28 November, Melbourne’s Forum Theatre on Friday 1 December and the iconic Sydney Opera House Concert Hall on Sunday 3 December.
Five years on from her last Australian visit, Feist returns with a full band in tow and a brand new album under her belt. Pleasure, Feist’s fifth studio record and first in six years, reflects on secrets and shame, loneliness and tenderness, care and fatigue and is at it’s core a study on self-awareness.
Pleasure builds off the warm naturalism of the Polaris Prize-winning Metals and emerges as Feist’s most formally defiant and expansive work so far. And while each album marks a departure from the next, Pleasure finds Feist again showing the extraordinary depth of her artistry.
Feist’s towering live performances have gained her worldwide acclaim, with the musician swinging between whispers and wails, from luminous ballads to the unhinged guitars also heard in her work with Broken Social Scene.
“Feist’s two-hour set was an exercise in graciousness, a reminder that low-key humility and performance grandeur can exist in the same space.” – Consequence Of Sound
