ELEANOR FRIEDBERGER PREMIERES "DOES TURQUOISE WORK?" VIDEO VIA NERDIST
(Video Still)"...Friedberger sounds purposeful and composed, unflappable and free - like a songwriter sure of her words and content with letting easy musical designs lead her where they will." - NPR Music
"Indie rock's most charming conversationalist hits a new pinnacle." - Rolling Stone (4/5 Stars)
""At times New View can seem like a concept record detailing Friedberger's ambivalence about her main gift: spinning fragile memories and feelings into accessible songs." - Pitchfork (7.8/10)
"[New View's] best songs are about the sweet bafflement of new love and the tenuous nature of happiness; rarely does ambivalence sound so lovely (and catchy)." - New York Magazine
"...Friedberger on New View travels in fluid, seamless melodies, and uses them in service of lyrics that revel in poeticism." - Los Angeles Times
Earlier this year, Eleanor Friedberger released her stunning, critically-acclaimed third solo record entitled New View, and today she shares a captivating animated video for "Does Turquoise Work?" made by Friedberger's bassist Jonathan Rosen. Rosen illustrated the song in the form of over 1,000 hand-made drawings in an improvised process, reflecting his personal interpretations of the song's lyrics. "It feels not only like a companion piece" saysFriedberger, "but a hypnotic compound of song and imagery, guiding one another." PRESS HERE to watch it now via Nerdist . The release of the video for "Does Turquoise Work?" also marks the beginning of the second leg of her US tour, where she'll be bringing songs from New View to the stage. The tour begins tonight at U Street Music Hall in Washington DC. See below to find a show near you and PRESS HERE to find tickets. New View is an exciting and masterfully-crafted addition to Eleanor Friedberger's already top-notch catalogue. PRESS HERE to purchase New View now. 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 ofEleanor Friedberger, whose warm, inviting alto and incredible wordplay continue to make her one of the foremost songwriters in the indie rock world today. PRESS HERE to watch her video for "Two Versions of Tomorrow" via Pitchfork and GoPro's GP4K Series and HERE to watch her SXSW themed video for "Never is a Long Time."
