The Bad In Each Other

Feist does something most artists can’t pull off—she makes restraint sound urgent. Not the fake minimalism of someone trying to seem sophisticated, but actual space, actual air. You listen to her and you understand why silence matters. There’s a particular kind of intimacy in her work, where the smallest gesture—a voice drop, a string arrangement, the way she lets a phrase hang—means everything. It’s the opposite of trying to move you. It’s the confidence to assume you’re actually listening.
