Through her three solo albums and work with Peaches, Broken Social Scene and Chilly Gonzales, Leslie Feist (who releases records under her last name) has established herself as the soulful queen of Canadian indie rock. Her new album, "The Reminder," released this month in Japan, is a collection of bruising, beautiful songs filled with melody and mystery.
The Japan Times woke Feist up with a phone call during her ongoing tour of the U.K., a week and a half before her appearance at Fuji Rock Festival '07 this Saturday.
One of the bands you play in, Broken Social Scene, played Fuji Rock last year. Did you play with them?
