Leslie Feist has finally crossed that line, entering an elite group of artists we like to call "The Remixed". Come April 17, Arts&Crafts; will release Open Season, an album of exclusive remixes, live recordings, and other previously Feist unreleased material... in Canada only. Damn.

The disc includes that Postal Service "Mushaboom" remix currently available on iTunes, an acoustic BBC Session recording of "Inside & Out", "Tout Doucement" from the French version of Let It Die, a cover of Peaches' "Lovertits" by Feist and Peaches cohort Gonzales, and more. See for yrself:

Opean Season:

01 Mushaboom (Postal Service Remix)
02 The Buildup (Kings of Convenience Feat. Feist)
03 The Simple Story (Jane Birkin and Feist)
04 Elle Aime (Albin de la Simone Feat. Feist)
05 One Evening (Gonzales Solo Piano)
06 Inside & Out (Acoustic: BBC Session)
07 Mushaboom (Solo from the Red Demos)
08 Tout Doucement (From French release of Let It Die)
09 Gatekeeper (Alternate Version)
10 Lonely Lonely (Frisbee'd Remix)
11 Gatekeeper (DoRight Remix)
12 Lovertits (Feist/Gonzales cover of Peaches)
13 When I Was A Young Girl (VV Remix)

Gonzales and Feist aren't only collaborating in the remix realm, however. Gonzales, in addition to Jamie Lidell, Mocky, and Renaud LeTang, will soon begin work on the follow-up to Let It Die in both Berlin and Paris. Feist's website says, "More US touring is booked for March, but in the meantime, it's tea, notebooks, a piano and a parlour guitar." Mmm, how European.
