2009, Thrill Jockey
CD presented in a four panel mini-LP style jacket. I'm Going Away is The Fiery Furnaces' eighth album. All rock music is a sort of dramatic music. And since the times are tough, it makes sense to have that "drama" be something more like a version of Taxi than something like a version of Titanic. We like Taxi better than Titanic, anyway. So we hope that some of the songs on this record can be used as theme songs to folks' own personal versions of Taxi. Because - ideally - the dramatic setting of the music isn't provided by the story or image of the given act or band. It's provided by the lives of the people who use - listen to - the music. That is pop music's promise and problem. So be careful and don't get canceled.
