User Album Review
If Eleanor Friedberger’s latest effort sounds different to you, you’re right. Unlike her previous work, Rebound isn’t a guitar-driven album. Instead she experiments with synths and drum beats to keep her eclectic edge going. It’s something that was inspired by her time spent in Greece back in 2016 where she immersed herself in the culture.
The title of her album was even born from an “Eighties goth disco” in Athens. It was there she found the sound for her fourth album: something dark, exhilarating and life-affirming.
Friedberger forges ahead crafting her own brand of pop music with the haunting, yet catchy tracks like “My Jesus Phase” and “It’s Hard”, and songs that could appear in Eighties teen romcoms like “The Letter” and “Everything.” On her latest effort, the singer-songwriter proves that the power of reinvention suits her just fine.
