* PeekABangs: Her usual hairstyle features long bangs shading her eyes.

At age 15, Feist began her career by performing in a punk rock band named Placebo ([[NamesTheSame not]] [[Music/{{Placebo}} that one]]), which at one point shared a festival bill with Music/TheRamones and opened for Music/{{Radiohead}} in 1993, but damaged her vocal chords during a concert in 1998. Since she couldn't sing, she had to take up playing guitar and bass for various bands, including By Divine Right.

* OneHitWonder: She's not unpopular, but "1234" is still miles more popular than all her other songs.

** ''Pleasure'' will be just as dark, if not darker than, ''Metals'', but way more blues-y and rock-y than her other albums

* RearrangeTheSong - Gonzales recorded piano instrumentals of various Feist songs for ''LAWTLDN''.

* OldShame - She didn't re-release ''Monarch'' or perform material from the album live anymore, which is a shame (no pun intended), because ''Monarch'' is actually a good album; it's just totally different from what she's doing now.
* OneHitWonder: "1234" in the US, and this was only because of downloads after being featured in a commercial. Because it lacked airplay, Feist quickly disappeared from the spotlight.

* RevivalByCommercialization: "1234"'s popularity took off when a commercial showed the music video for the song being played on an apparent "stack" of [=iPod=]s.

[[LastNameBasis Leslie]] '''[[LastNameBasis Feist]]''' is a Canadian IndiePop artist known for her solo career and work with several high-profile [[CanadianMusic Canadian bands]].

Feist (along with several other Canadian indie bands) formed the supergroup BrokenSocialScene. During this time, she also recorded her breakout album, ''Let It Die'', in 2004. Three years later, she released ''The Reminder'', which was an even bigger success that spawned a hit single. That song, "1234", appeared in an iPod nano commercial and hit #8 on the United States pop charts, which was a rare accomplishment for an indie musician. The song was also a hit on the strength of downloads alone.

* CoverVersion: ''Let It Die'''s second half is made up entirely of covers: "When I Was a Young Girl" is a traditional song, "Secret Heart" is by Ron Sexsmith, "Inside and Out" is by the BeeGees, "Tout doucement" was originally recorded by Blossom Dearie, "Now at Last" is by Bob Haymes, and the original Canadian release included a cover of "L'amour ne dure pas toujours" by Françoise Hardy.

* TheOner: The videos for "My Moon My Man" and "1234" are both one long take.
