Canadian singer/songwriter Feist will unveil her next album, "The Reminder," April 23 internationally and May 1 in Canada and the United States via Cherry Tree/Interscope, according to her Web site. It's the follow-up to 2005's "Let It Die," which reached No. 36 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart.
Feist has lined up a handful of European shows in support of the album, beginning April 16 in London. Additional North American dates are in the works.
Adam Pierce, aka electronica artist Mice Parade, is preparing to release his seventh, self-titled album via Fat Cat in May.
