2011, Thrill Jockey Records
VINYL FORMAT. Limited to 350 copies; vinyl only! Matthew Friedberger is one half of The Fiery Furnaces, and this is his first solo material since Winter Women/Holy Ghost Language School (recorded in 2006). Napoléonette is the first of six full length albums Matthew Friedberger plans to release in 2011(!). His six record set, Solos, in which he plays only a single given instrument per album (though not necessarily the same actual individual example of the single given instrument), is designed to illustrate the following Cretan-Lacedaemonian principle: Every group of instruments against every other group of instruments; every instrument against every other instrument; and especially, every instrument against itself, all alone.
