Fiery Furnaces member Eleanor Friedberger has been developing a compelling solo career for a few years, but aside from recent contribution to Beck’s Song Reader compilation, we haven’t heard any new music from her since 2013’s Personal Record and a short tour of the UK last year. A third album should likely be forthcoming, as Friedberger recently signed with Frenchkiss Records, but until then, you can get a taste of what she’s been up to lately with the new one-off single “False Alphabet City.”
Written as a theme song of sorts for visual artist Sara Magenheimer’s film False Alphabets, “False Alphabet City” is here accompanied by footage from the film, and showcases Freidberger’s role as DJ in the city so nice they named it twice.
