Eleanor Friedberger - Epitonic saki Session (2011)



8.8

/Alternative rock, Singer-songwriter, Live session/

Comment: Eleanor Friedberger (born in 1976) is one half of a famous family duo, called The Fiery Furnaces. who this time provide her 7-track set within the frame of Epitonic saki Sessions. In comparison to the aesthetics of her parental group EF`s sound is more simplistic - it is without orchestrated bores, sonic tricks and sound effects and conceptual frameworks. In a word, she is a singer-songwriter now. Nevertheless her songs are poignant, dashing and tumultuous. And by its lyrics it includes the hint at Soft Machine, the legendary art/avant-rock band coming out of the so-called Canterbury Scene.
