Eleanor Friedberger performs in the Soundcheck studio.

Eleanor Friedberger's 'Personal Record,' In The Studio

Soundcheck | Jun 3, 2013

Most know Eleanor Friedberger as one half of The Fiery Furnaces, the art rock duo she formed with her brother Matthew more than a decade ago. While that duo is on hiatus, both Matthew and Eleanor have kept busy with solo projects; Eleanor Friedberger's low-key and highly listenable first album, Last Summer, was an introspective and nostalgia-filled collection that made our best-of list for the year.

She's now returned with a follow-up, Personal Record, which she co-wrote with John Wesley Harding. And like Last Summer, Personal Record is another album that waxes nostalgic -- but this time, it's pulls from the pop-rock sounds of the 1970s.

Set List:

  • "I Don't Want To Bother You"
  • "Stare At The Sun"
  • "Other Boys"
