The Fiery Furnaces

Not actually an EP, this full-length gathers a copious (although incomplete) amount of B-sides and oddities recorded in the group's short lifespan. Running rampant with smart tunes, odd yet compelling narratives, and some wicked-cool guitar squawk, this is more proof of the greatness of the Fiery Furnaces.

This avant-pop duo has a penchant for long-winded artsy collage, but there's a skilled band
beneath all the pretensions. These ten tracks covering forty-two minutes prove that again
-- with Eleanor Friedberger rambling her way through wry, melodic tunes while her
brother Matt supplies loads of synthy electro quirks.
