Canadian indie pop singer-songwriter Leslie Feist, aka Feist appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where she performed her latest song "Century".
The song was released in April from her fifth studio album "Pleasure", featuring Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker. It was co-written by Leslie Feist, Jarvis Cockerand and Brian LeBarton.
This time, Stephen Colbert played with her replacement for Jarvis Cocker.
The new album is her first LP in 6 years since "Metals" and sits at number 91 on the US Billboard 200 and at number 48 on the UK Albums Chart.
She has currently toured to promote the new album since April. The tour takes place in Europe and North America through August. Learn more about tour dates, click here.
Also she joined in Broken Social Scene's upcoming new album "Hug of Thunder", which will be released in July 7.
The new album is like a studio live album, she told Pitchfork about the LP;
"It’s because the songs were recorded pretty much live. And it felt in keeping with the whole experiment of investing in imperfection. It’s funny. A lot of my guy friends will know how to intend for something to sound like that Beach Boys album, or that year, or that recording studio, where they’re retro-fitting these production qualities. But for me, it can’t just be sonic. If there’s backup singing, I’m like, “Who are they and why are they there?” I get really narrative about it, really literary. So when it became clear to me that the hiss was embedded everywhere, I was like, “All right, it belongs in this play’s cast of characters."-
