Eleanor Friedberger's Last Summer

can be your last summer, too, if you forgot about, or forgot to enjoy, the heat-sweet of the summer of '10, when we started to think about the 90s a lot again and became the tweens of a new millennium. It was my first full summer in New York, and there's a lot of New York in these songs, so they're getting me for that reason, too.

It's out today, and Merge is streaming the whole thing here.

But you should really buy it, 'cause this "From the Desk of Eleanor Friedberger" notepad comes free with purchase:


My favorite tracks are the no-regrets "My Mistakes," the desert-miragey "Inn of the Seventh Ray," and "I Won't Fall Apart on You Tonight," which staves off till tomorrow whatever might've happened last summer.

Here's the video for "My Mistakes," of the genre feminist-quotidian-hilaritas, one of my faves since I just made it up:


(Note sax!)
