Feist debuts Bittersweet Melodies clip inspired and created by photographer Irina Werning
While debuting the artwork for the joint album Metals between Feist and Mastadon, Leslie Fesit also premiered the music video in support of the single Bittersweet Melodies. The clip wears the sign of Argentine photographer Irina Werning, who creates images by juxtaposing people in the present with images from their past. And the result is as warm and satisfying as it is melancholy and sentimental. The video is based on her work Back to the Future series. It's a bit sentimental and cheesy, but Feist's voice is beautiful as usual. Watch the video below.

"When I fall in love with a picture I don't stop until I have them in front of me dressed like this doing that thing they were doing. I'm always amazed that they do it."
