Eleanor Friedberger
Eleanor Friedberger’s recent solo album, Last Summer (which, indeed, came out last summer), is all over the map lyrically, as the former leader of Fiery Furnaces finds herself stuck in South Pasadena but wishing she were in Topanga (“Inn of the Seventh Ray”), wandering through a dreamtime Brooklyn (“Scenes From Bensonhurst”) and funky corners of New York (“Roosevelt Island”), before achieving a kind of candied-pop nirvana (“Heaven”). Musically, the breezy, jangling arrangements of “My Mistakes” and “Early Earthquake” belie the sly intelligence and emotional heft hidden within Friedberger’s romantic pop valentines
