Jonathan Franzen’s Minimalist Approach Inspired Feist’s ‘Metals’
Leslie Feist tells Hitfix she was inspired by the actions of Jonathan Franzen when penning is 2010 novel ‘Freedom’ to emulate his minimalist actions when putting together her latest album ‘Metals’.
“I wanted to do the same thing, so all I had was my laptop, with no internet, a floor tom and one old guitar, an amp and one new guitar. I made like a little altar, with things that were dear to me like a few postcards and couple of books. It was basically modernity-forbidden zone,” Feist explained.
The singer songwriter released ‘Metals’ last month and is currently touring in support of the album in North America.
