ELEANOR FRIEDBERGER SHARES MUSIC VIDEO FOR "HE DIDN'T MENTION HIS MOTHER"
|
Praise for Eleanor Friedberger + "He Didn't Mention His Mother":
"Friedberger
makes breezy-sounding music about adult situations. She notices life's
little details...and weaves them into a cozy tapestry...What a
beautiful, subtle way to describe a beautiful, subtle feeling." - Pitchfork
"...a beautifully lush ramble that evokes the greats of the '70s without aping any of them too closely." - Stereogum
"...a slowly rolling charmer streaked with fine, crisp guitar lines." - Consequence of Sound
"...subtle, poetic..." - Village Voice
Eleanor Friedberger will release New View on January 22nd via Frenchkiss, and today she shares the music video for the album opener and first single, "He Didn't Mention His Mother," a track driven by melodic guitar lines, Wurlitzer electric piano and Friedberger's
signature, witty lyricism. The video features Friedberger rehearsing
with her backing band Icewater at her upstate New York home and
recording with producer Clemens Knieper at his Sunnyland Studio in
Germantown, NY. PRESS HERE to watch the video now via Stereogum.
Eleanor Friedberger will take New View on the road next year, starting at NYC's Bowery Ballroom in February and culminating at SXSW 2016. See below to find a show near you.
New View is the follow-up to 2013's critically acclaimed Personal Record and is her first album as a signee to NYC's seminal indie label Frenchkiss Records. New View signals a fresh beginning for the former Fiery Furnaces' frontwoman. After living in Brooklyn for fourteen years, Friedberger moved to upstate New York, and the album reflects that region's rustic charm. Friedberger drew inspiration for New View
from many of her musical heroes - everyone from Van Morrison, Neil
Young and George Harrison, to Slapp Happy, Yoko Ono and Elyse. There
are ghost notes of all of those influences on New View,but mostly you hear the singular voice of Eleanor Friedberger,
whose warm, inviting alto and incredible word play continue to make
herone of the foremost songwriters in the indie rock world today.
