Breaking up is hard to do, and writing about it can be even harder. It’s the task Blake Hazard undertook after her split with husband and collaborator in the Submarines, John Dragonetti. Hazard’s solo album “The Eleanor Islands” was largely written at her grandmother’s house in historic Padanaram, Mass., and recorded in Brooklyn and L.A. The sunny single “Weekends Are for Amateurs” is not exactly the predominant tenor of the album, but neither does “The Eleanor Islands” mope. In its ruminations on beginnings and ends and other ineluctabilities lays a potent bit of catharsis. The album, Hazard’s first solo work since 2002, is out today.
