Pleasure

Pleasure, Feist’s first album since Metals in 2011, was released April 28th, 2017.

Feist’s label has described the album as “an exploration into emotional limits,” such as “loneliness, private ritual, secrets, shame, mounting pressures, disconnect, tenderness, rejection, care and the lack thereof.”

She also told Pitchfork that the album came at a time of feeling raw from life.

The day the word “pleasure” sprung to my mind, it was a contrarian idea, because I was having too little of it at the time. I was experiencing things through a bit of a pall of feeling quite lost. But I realized I could try to pivot away from pain and put my weight on the other foot—it was the switch that gets flicked, and some new light is shed on a situation.
