<b><i>Metals</i></b> (Cherrytree/Interscope). <span class="apple-style-span">Kicking things off with a two weekend stint at Coachella,
<b>Feist</b> will make stops everywhere from Austin, TX, to the famed Radio City Music Hall in New York City,</span> a headlining spot at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago, IL, and a set at the famed

<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color:black">many ‘Best of 2011’ lists including
<u>Pitchfork</u>, <u>Spin</u>, <u>Rolling Stone</u> and was chosen as the <b>#1 Album of 2011</b> in the <u>New York Times</u>. Jon Pareles (<u>New York Times</u>) praised her “</span><i>songs of heartache, solitude and eventual solace”</i> as <i>“…both handmade
and subtly sophisticated…She traded pop gloss for pensive, lingeringly unresolved melodies and arrangements that crest unexpectedly from within, with her own taut electric guitar and apparitions of horns and voices summoning the tensions behind the beauty.”</i><span style="color:black">
Last month she received a nomination for the prestigious <b>Brit Award</b> (Grammy equivalent) for the 2012 “International Female Artist” prize.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
