She's endowed with a surname that sounds like an irregular supporter's order at a greasy chip stall in the vicinity of a football stadium and her back catalogue racked up with day job The Fiery Furnaces is particularly juicy. My Mistakes (out November 7th), lifted from Eleanor Friedberger's forthcoming LP of the following Monday, Last Summer, is a typically quirky, playfully jaunty affair that recalls Blueberry Boat at its most endearingly abstract, and its closing moments are permeated by a whimsical sax solo. Never a bad thing, and in this case it fits in seamlessly with the kooky batshit nature of the track. For all you London types Friedberger is to muck in down Bethnal Green Working Men's Club on December 1st in a show put on by the ever-excellent Eat Your Own Ears.
