Singer-songwriter Eleanor Friedberger has released covers of two Destroyer songs. Friedberger shared versions of “The River” and “Hell,” both from 2016’s Poison Season LP. Listen to both demos below via Friedberger’s Bandcamp account.
“I thought I’d put out a digital EP of Destroyer covers before the tour started in February,” Friedberger wrote on Bandcamp and in an Instagram post. “I didn’t.” She continues:
There were too many favorites from Poison Season and it seemed like it would be an unfair, and slightly creepy amount of attention to that one album! But I did make some demos, and I’ll throw them up on Bandcamp now… First are “Hell” and “The River.” It was such a thrill to sing these songs with the band, and Dan was so generous to let me hog the stage. I wish we could be in the dressing room, drinking again, tonight.
Friedberger released her latest studio album Rebound in 2018, while Destroyer shared Have We Met earlier this year.
