Eleanor Friedberger

Eleanor Friedberger has shared the video for “Sweetest Girl” from her forthcoming solo album New View. While no director is creditted, someone has become enamored with the magic wand tool on Photoshop. The song itself is a herky-jerky pop number with Friedberger’s loquacious lyrical style in full effect. Check it out below.

Friedberger will kick off her New View tour next month at Bowery Ballroom (2/18) with Big Thief opening. Tickets are still available. She’s added a lot more tour dates since our last post, including a stay in Austin for SXSW. Updated tour dates are listed below.
