Eleanor Friedberger will release her second solo album, Personal Record, on June 4th on Merge Records. The twelve song collection was written with musician and novelist John Wesley Harding (AKA Wesley Stace). Eleanor met Wes at a Bob Dylan tribute concert last year where they were both performing and soon after began collaborating together on songs for the album. “Stare At Sun” is a driving guitar fueled three minute instant classic. It’s like a cross between The Wedding Present and The Raspberries with a momentary Thin Lizzy-esque guitar solo. Download it below, lower those car windows, and blast it.
