MUSIC NEWS - Feist has unveiled her new video for “The Bad In Each Other”off her critically-acclaimed album, Metals (out via Cherrytree/Interscope).

MUSIC NEWS- After years of playing in the indie outfit Immaculate Machine, Kathryn Calder found herself in the very unexpected position of being asked to record and tour with The New Pornographers. Before she knew it, she was inducted as a full fledged member of that group. In 2010 she once again surprised herself (and fans) by releasing her first solo album of her own compositions entitled Are You My Mother?, which would garner favorable press throughout the world and hinted a dizzying array of different avenues that the songwriter could explore in the future.
She now brings us her newest album, Bright and Vivid, on October 25. Written and recorded in a relatively short amount of time, it's a masterfully refined piece of work that illustrates a maturation that comes from intense growth and change. Some folks break when too much happens in a short period of time, yet Calder reached deep within and manifested it into a striking gift for us all.
