Feist - The Reminder

Oh my God, what are those things coming out of her neck? That cover's horrific. At best a giant butterfly's hatched in her oesophagus.

Track 12 is called 'Honey Honey'. It strikes me that maybe one 'Honey' would have been sufficient.

Track 14 is ALSO called 'Honey Honey'. I'm puzzled. Does Alison Feist (I think that's her name) really like honey? Is she [horrified pause] THE HONEY MONSTER?

The silhouetted butterfly-neck woman on the cover doesn't resemble the Honey Monster, but the Honey Monster's cunning, you see. He's a shape-shifter. Look at him once and all you see is a silhouette of a woman with a multicoloured, linear butterfly protruding from under her jaw. Look at him again and - SHOCK! HORROR! - it's that familiar over-sized, furry beast, demented with honey-lust.

You can buy this Feist album if you want, but the lives of a billion bees and honey-producers will have been lost in vain.
