Canadian friends and Blue Rodeo fans have been hyping us to Bob Wiseman for years — that off-kilter, smart musicality and inventive, junkyard instrumentation. He’s bound to turn more heads than his stint with Hidden Cameras with his new Feist-featuring “Who Am I” video from his 11th record Theme And Variations (note the singular “theme”). The achy, spooky, spare, and bowed tune reminds us of The Original Harmony Ridge Creek Dippers. CMJ has the video to watch over here. In it you’ll see Bob and Leslie in various European locations, sometimes toting an accordion or a can or a smile. Also filmed during their European tour together — in Munich, Germany to be more exact — is this video of Feist playing drums for Wiseman on his tune “You Don’t Love Me.”

Wach out, Phil Collins! (Or, better yet, Dean Spunt…)

Theme And Variations is out on Blocks Recording Club.

  1. I think there should be a section of Stereogum entirely devoted to “Feist-featuring”. At this point, who hasn’t featured Feist?

    Sort of sounds like a genre of bad fetish video.
