At age 15, Feist began her career by performing in a punk rock band named Placebo ([[
Fortunately, she regained her voice, although it was deeper and smokier than before. After she received a grant from the Canadian government, Feist released her debut album ''Monarch (Lay Your Jewelled Head Down)''. While the record was an underground hit, Feist [[Old Shame|didn't think highly of it]], and let it go out of print. After moving in with a friend, Merrill Nisker (aka [[
Feist (along with several other Canadian indie bands) formed the supergroup [[Broken Social Scene]]. 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.

Since ''The Reminder'', Feist has toured with Broken Social Scene, collaborated with fellow indie bands Grizzly Bear and Wilco, and covered Skip Spence's ''Oar'' with [[Beck]], Wilco, Jamie Lidell and James Gadson. A documentary film, ''Look At What The Light Did Now'', chronicling the making of ''The Reminder'' in a Paris mansion, was also released in 2010.

* [[Conveyor Belt Video]]: Literally.
* [[Cover Version]]: ''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 [[Bee Gees]], "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.

* [[New Sound Album]] - ''Let It Die'' dropped the more traditional [[Baroque Pop]] qualities present on ''Monarch'' in favor of a more indie pop sound.
* [[Old Shame]] - 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.
