Rebound
(Frenchkiss Records)
★★★★
SINCE spending the noughties in US indie-rock duo Fiery Furnaces, Eleanor Friedberger has constructed an impressive and critically acclaimed solo career.
Rebound, her fourth long player since 2011, marks a shift from her previous album’s upstate New York singer-songwriter idyll.
Moving to Greece after Donald Trump was elected president, Friedberger discovered the Athens 1980s disco that gives the record its name and inspired its cohesive sound and yearning energy.
