I know, I KNOW. You’re all like: “Eleanor Friedberger news? Again? Didn’t you just tell me about how New View, her new album and follow-up to 2013’s Personal Record, is coming out January 22 on Frenchkiss???”
And yeah, we did kinda just tell you that. Hell, we even shared that initial jam “He Didn’t Mention His Mother” with you. But DUDE. You don’t understand. This is an entirely NEW and DIFFERENT news post. Because what we DIDN’T TELL YOU — chiefly because we ourselves had no idea at the time — was that she’s hitting the road shortly after the album’s release for what’s conventionally known in the music biz as “a string of US tour dates.”
Truth, man. They start in February. They go through March. They’re chronologically (as well as loosely-geographically) arranged. The string metaphor holds up! It’s EPIC. What a world. Anyway, I’m hoping I didn’t go through all of this for nothing, so go see the woman perform when she comes to your town, won’t you?
