Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
A New View is always welcome, it might disappoint, it could possible enrage the status quo, it could even blossom and flower and become the picture in which clarity is offered down the line, the healthy regard for the alternative view.
For Eleanor Friedberger the New View is much more than a set of songs in which to capture a mood, a reflection of all that she holds as truth and belief, it is a an outlook that is infectious, a vision in which the American songstress sheds light on the interaction of relationships and their dynamic and how in some cases the world can turn when a different path is chosen unexpectedly; when you fall for the person that you shouldn’t and yet an inkling of perspective comes out of the blue.
