SPILL NEWS: FEIST RELEASES NEW SINGLE “BORROW TROUBLE”

FEIST RELEASES NEW SINGLE “BORROW TROUBLE”

FROM MULTITUDES THE NEW ALBUM OUT APRIL 14 

Feist has released “Borrow Trouble”, the brilliant new single from the multi-award winning, hugely influential musician’s new album Multitudes, which will be released April 14 to Universal Music/Polydor France/Universal Music Canada, pre-order here. Three tracks from the album are already available – “In Lightning”, “Love Who We Are Meant To” and “Hiding Out in The Open”.

Recorded in a bespoke residential studio in the California Redwoods, Multitudes was produced by Feist with longtime collaborators Robbie Lackritz (The Weather Station, Bahamas, Robbie Robertson) and Mocky (Jamie Lidell, Vulfpeck, Kelela), with “Borrow Trouble” co-produced by Blake Mills (Bob Dylan, Fiona Apple, Perfume Genius).

“Borrow Trouble caused some trouble in trying to finish the recording,” comments Feist of the new single. “It began as a contemplative acoustic morality tale and shape shifted itself into the sound of trouble itself. It’s a mess that holds its own logic. It’s the convincing cacophony that thoughts can be. It saws away at you until your overwhelm pops an air supply in the form of another idea, a solution that starts with accepting there’s no such thing as perfection.

“Mike Mills (the filmmaker), directed me deeper into the tangle, insisted I play drums ‘because you’re not a drummer!’ and Amir Yaghmai brought the fist pumping drone of violins. Early on, when I was writing it Charles Spearin said ‘yah but what does borrowing trouble mean?’ And I said “It’s an expression from the old days,” which became the chorus. May as well let the song explain, like I’m doing now.”
