eleanor friedberger Three learn-from-your-mistakes reasons to come out to Schubas tonight... 1. Oak Park-native Eleanor Friedberger once again finds herself in Chicago to promote her excellent 2011 solo album Last Summer . Friedberger, one-half of the sibling art poppers Fiery Furnaces, chooses to indulge her nostalgic side on her first album away from brother and creative partner, Matthew. She crafts serious pop songs that are wistful and brooding lyrically, while sonically maintaining an outwardly sunny disposition. The collection serves as the perfect vehicle for Friedberger's sensual [...]

Better known as one half of eccentric duo Fiery Furnaces, Eleanor Friedberger will release her debut solo album Last Summer on November 14th. Preceeding the album's release is the autobiographical lead single ‘My Mistakes’ - a wonderfully catchy, playful and ditty piece of indie-pop and a superb song.

Let's check out the quirky DIY video for the album's bouncy lead track My Mistakes... [...]
What should one expect from a solo album by one of the Friedberger siblings (aka the Fiery Furnaces)? They are a band that is rarely predictable and often walks a tightrope between being totally irritating and utterly compelling. And strangely enough, when they opt to play it more or less straight, the results are not always great—take their last album, the piano-based and mostly inert I'm Going Away , for example. The group is so prolific and seems to take so much glee in [...]

Por Emmanuel Patrone Para hablar de Last Summer , primero es necesario remitirse a The Fiery Furnaces . Después de todo, Eleanor Friedberger es la mitad femenina del conjunto, que comparte con su hermano mayor Matthew. A lo largo de ocho discos de estudio, The Fiery Furnaces exploraron el lado experimental del pop, deformando estructuras, armando suites enmarañadas cargadas de sintetizadores y sacando discos sobre la vida de su abuela o con referencias a ciudades sagradas arcaicas, a la vez que apostaban por ganchos pop irresistibles.
