The Reminder is a little mellower than '05's wonderful Let It Die, but the decreased tempo doesn't effect its' overall sonic punch. The production is very simple, almost low-fi in places, but it doesn't seems pretentious at all. The sound fits these sneaky pop gems. She sounds great throughout, especially on the bouncy "My Moon My Man" and the lead single "1234". "Limit To My Love" is truly a wonderful pop love song, and this track especially highlights her distinctive, seductive voice. Elsewhere, Feist mines in some pretty eclectic territory, from torch songs / jazz to folk to indie rock and back again, but it never sounds forced.

Truly, The Reminder should appeal to a wide range of tastes. Consider this a friendly "reminder" to check it out...
