New View

Description: New View PRODUCT DETAILS: Product Description ''New View,'' the third solo album by Eleanor Friedberger, was rehearsed in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Echo Park and recorded in upstate New York. The songs on ''New View'' were recorded live to tape with simple instrumentation: drums, bass, Wurlitzer and 12-string acoustic guitar on almost every track, courtesy of the band Icewater with Dorian DeAngelo contributing a handful of well-placed guitar solos. Producer Clemens Knieper gives the album a classic sound, like something that's existed forever on a record collector's shelf, wedged in with Dylan's ''New Morning'' and John Cale's ''Vintage Violence.'' Songs like ''Open Season'' recall The Fiery Furnances at their most magisterial. The wry, plainspoken ''Because I Asked You'' builds on the style Friedberger first polished on her solo debut ''Last Summer.'' And then there's ''A Long Walk,'' the sun-striped finale that lends a memorable afterglow to ''New View.'' It's a sweet, aching goodbye from an album that seems full of them. Review 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. But even if ''New View'''s overall aesthetic may pair nicely with your laziest summer Sunday morning, there's an undercurrent of serious melancholia in Friedberger's writing here, setting it apart tonally from her previous two records.... 7.8 --Pitchfork, January 20, 2016 Her last album, 2013's ''Personal Record,'' was her best yet, setting richly drawn, empathetic character sketches of adorably bumfuzzled romantics to economically rangy guitar ruminations à la Stephen Malkmus and Wilco in finest fireside hangout mode. Friedberger's third solo outing builds on that. The Chicago-bred singer-guitarist works one of rock's finest faux-British accents, sounding like an early-Seventies prog-folkie. It's a perfect vocal vibe for music that can recall the very late Beatles and New Morning-era Dylan, but ultimately evokes nothing so much as what might happen if the cover art from Van Morrison's ''Veedon Fleece'' had a weekend fling with the cover art from Yo La Tengo's ''And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out.'' **** --Rolling Stone, January 22, 2016 ''New View'' takes its title partly from a grown-up relocation--Friedberger has moved from Brooklyn to upstate New York--and while it never sounds boring, the arrangements are undeniably trad. There are shades of Bob Dylan here (opener ''He Didn't Mention His Mother'' even borrows the chord structure from ''Knockin' On Heaven's Door''), while the beautifully understated ''Never Is A Long Time'' has the finger-picked warmth of an Iron And Wine song. But Friedberger's off beat delivery and lyrical quirks (''I'm opening a tree museum/It's my new hobby,'' she sings on ''Open Season'') seem to balance nicely with this straightening out of the musical backdrop. ''New View'' is about a new home in more ways than one, then.'' --The Guardian, January 22, 2016 PAYMENT SHIPPING RETURNS We only accept payment through PayPal.
