Eleanor Friedberger just released the video for “Stare at the Sun,” the first single from her forthcoming solo album, Personal Record (out 6/4 on Merge). Directed by Scott Jacobson, the clip features sheepdogs, sign language, split-screens and enough lens-flares to fill a JJ Abrams movie. You can watch it below.

In other news, Eleanor is opening for Rodriguez tonight (4/10) at Town Hall, so if you’re going to that sold-out show, do get there early for her set. She’ll back to play NYC again on on April 26 at BAM as part of Crossing Brooklyn Ferry (tickets) and then again on June 28 at Music Hall of Williamsburg which is the last date of her tour with TEEN (tickets). Updated tour dates are below.
