New view

"Ud over de mere modne, selvstændige tekster som Eleanor Friedberger præsenterer så smukt, er New View også pakket ind i et backingband, der meget præcist rammer den lyd, hun søgte efter gennem såvel årene med brormand Matthew i The Fiery Furnaces som i sin solokarriere. Denne gang bare bedre end sidst, med en dejlig tyk og varm fill samt guitarsoli, der enten lægger sig omkring hendes sangstemme eller ligefrem kommenterer uudtalte sætninger".

"So after over a decade of Brooklyn dwelling, Friedberger moved to upstate New York and wrote her third solo album New View. And while Personal Record was populated with energized, electric rock songs and party-hopping anthems, New View's territory is far more easygoing, more traditional in its structure. The record's no-fuss, featherlight acoustic pop songs weave into one another seamlessly, Friedberger's melodies familiar and redolent of artists like Harry Nilsson and Neil Young without playing like nostalgia".
