ELEANOR FRIEDBERGER: Rebound (Frenchkiss)
ONCE of New York indie duo Fiery Furnaces, Friedburger seeks inspiration from her Greek heritage on an album rooted in Athens but also in thrall to British electro-pop. Her velvety voice enhances the mood as she obsesses over an old affair on In Between Stars while the whisky-soaked My Jesus Phase finds her feeling mellow in an Athenian bar.
