The Twilight franchise has somehow managed to round up quality
talent for their soundtracks and with the final installment due out this holiday
season we get yet another first rate line up of artists providing tunes for the
popular film franchise. Check out some highlights from the likes of Passion Pit, Feist,
and St. Vincent.
Feist has
shared the music video for the Metals track
"Graveyard". The black and white clip, directed by Keith Megna and was filmed in Big Sur in
California.
Feist had this to say about the video...
"I'm not talking about the Graveyard as a location, but of
the entangled thoughts you get when visiting a graveyard. Usually you're there
to visit someone who's died, and you think in broad terms about what they've
become and your own mortality and about what time means. We're alone in the
field, always at a distance. And people appear and disappear from your life.
Grief comes in the form of much larger thoughts; it's more philosophical and it
leads to a confused state of mind. You don't get those thoughts from checking
your emails! It's a pullback from details and its grand and isolating.
Canadian songstress Leslie Feist is filmed in a lush monochromatic color scheme while performing her ballad “Anti-Pioneer” in a new video by Danish director Martin de Thurah from the 2011 LP Metals.
Mastodon and Feist have released an
interactive video for their Record Store day split single. The “Feistodon” clip was
directed by Vice Cooler, and utilizes an HTML5 video app, enabling users to
crossfade between Feist and Mastodon’s versions of “A Commotion”. The video see’s
Feist enthusiastically destroying anything she can get her hands on and can be viewed below or HERE.
Feistodon is the 7″ split EP that’s being released for Record Store
Day which features Mastodon covering Fiest’s “A Commotion” from here 2012
release Metals and Feist covering Mastodon’s “Black Tongue” from their
2011 release The Hunter. Listen to both covers below and take note
of the rad cover art.
Some catching up to do this morning as I’ve been out of town and away from the computer for the last four days. First up is the latest video from Feist. “Bittersweet Melodies” utilizes Argentinean photographer IrinaWerning’s images from her "Back to the Future" series in which old photographs of subjects are placed next to updated photographs of the same subjects in identical poses as adults. You might have even seen some of these floating around the internet prior to this video.
Tumblewoof is a mashup artist that takes little snippets from songs by such artists as Feist, Drake, AC/DC, Kid Cudi, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, The Roots and many more and then melds them together for one seemless mix. You’re familiar with this process, think closer to Girl Talk in how rapid fire each sample is than a one off song the blends two artists together. Tumblewoof doesn’t always take the obvious route on M▲ JOR giving this tiny mix a big punch. Give a listen below and download for a price of your choice if interested, and yes you can get it for free if you so choose.
Feist has revealed her latest video from her sophomore LP Metals. Check out the clip for “The Bad Each Other” below with some words about it from the artist herself…
“This video captures glimpses of something human, we get a peek inside something real between people - could be loss, longing and love. A lot of things which is about being a human being....
It is told in a way where it opens up more aspects than it concludes.
Maybe something we can't grasp, but it points at it or touches it and
leaves us with different kinds of emotions.
You could think about the video like a song or a poem, and different
people will connect to different things- and those connections might
be different from time to time when they watch it.”
Feist’s "How Come You Never Go There"from her 2011 LP Metals was recently remixed by Beck, a partnership that fits like a glove, check the results below…
