Eleanor Friedberger has released a new song entitled “False Alphabet City,” her first new material since 2013’s critically acclaimed album Personal Record, and her first release as a signee to NYC’s seminal indie label Frenchkiss Records.
In April 2015, Eleanor took a break from recording to perform in the visual artist Sara Magenheimer’s (http://www.saramagenheimer.com/) film FALSE ALPHABETS, in which she plays a New York City radio DJ, the true voice of the city. Eleanor adapted Sara’s script into songs and performed them with her band at Recess the SOHO gallery that hosted Sara’s residency. “False Alphabet City” became the anthemic theme song for this video-based artwork about language, music and the radio voice as a life-line in our contemporary atmosphere of cultural alienation.
