The Fiery Furnaces’ Eleanor Friedberger releases her debut solo album ‘Last Summer’ in the UK today through Merge Records, and you can also see the new video for album track ‘Roosevelt Island’ below!
Filmed on Roosevelt Island itself, the video follows Eleanor across to the island that lies just off the coast of Manhattan and venturing into a funfair. A simple yet charming accompaniment to a track that echoes the 1970s disco-era, the video captures the same autobiographical whimsy as the video for ‘My Mistakes’; a theme that runs not only in her videos, but throughout the songs on ‘Last Summer’.
Eleanor Friedberger will also be playing a date at East End boozer Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club on December 1st backed by a full live band, allowing UK audiences to see her perform her new material as she intended it to be heard for the first time.
