Monarch (Lay Your Jewelled Head Down) is a 1999 album by Feist recorded in Toronto and mixed at Hamilton's Catherine North Studio. It is a quiet, subdued indie-rock album with hints of Hank Williams Sr. Upon its independent release, Monarch was a favorite in the Toronto music scene. Despite the success of Feist's followup album, Let It Die, Monarch (Lay Your Jewelled Head Down) is now out of print. Indeed its rarity has made it something of a Holy Grail of Indie-rock. Prices of over $100 US have been seen on ebay.
