The album, which featured playful but more straightfoward tracks than the Furnaces' work, was released by Merge in July 2011. For 2013's Personal Record, Friedberger crafted a set of songs that paid homage to the introspective pop of the '70s. She returned late in 2015 with the single "False Alphabet City," a companion piece to visual artist Sara Magenheimer's film False Alphabets that was also Friedberger's first release for Frenchkiss Records. Her third full-length, New View, was recorded with her backing band Icewater after a move to upstate New York. It arrived in January 2016. ~ Heather Phares
