Rebound (Eleanor Friedberger album)

Rebound is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Eleanor Friedberger, released on May 4, 2018, by Frenchkiss Records. The album draws significant inspiration from the Greek island of Hydra, where Friedberger spent a month in early 2017.

The album's title, "Rebound," refers in part to the island's Rebound bar, a spot Friedberger frequented. Musically, Rebound departs from Friedberger's previous work, incorporating elements of krautrock, synth-pop, and new wave. The album's sound is heavily influenced by synthesizers and drum machines.

Lyrically, Rebound explores themes of displacement, identity, and political anxiety in the wake of the 2016 US presidential election. Friedberger has stated that the album is a personal response to a changing world, reflecting feelings of uncertainty and the need for reinvention.

The album received generally positive reviews upon release, with critics praising its sonic experimentation and Friedberger's songwriting. It was supported by singles such as "In Between Stars" and "Make Me a Song."
