Metals

Forget Grammys and platinum discs, the true benchmark of success for any musician is appearing on Sesame Street. Don’t believe us? Just look at Feist: her last album was such a hit, she got the chance to teach the muppets to count, thereby technically rocketing her into the same league of stardom as former guests Michael Jackson and Beyoncé. So, with the eyes of the world now focused upon her, Canada’s premier indie-songstress has finally unveiled her fourth studio effort. And whilst the increasingly melancholic and haunting direction she’s taken on Metals could prove a mite too mature for Elmo’s ears, for the rest of us it’s a treat.
