The End Is Near

VINYL FORMAT. The End Is Near is a limited edition 12" EP. Fans and critics alike have long been waiting for the Friedbergers to make their "simple" record, as it's always been clear they had a knack for the infectious melodies and great arrangements that classic pop requires. The title track, a catchy, melancholic pop song, kicks off the single, instantly giving tantalizing affirmation that the new album, I'm Going Away, is set to be the most exciting, accomplished and consequently accessible album The Fiery Furnaces have ever made. A radio edit of "Lost At Sea" and a slower version of "Charmaine Champagne" (both album tracks in their original forms) underline the masterful melodic work of the album's new songs to breathtaking effect. "Teddy's on Kent" is an otherwise unavailable new recording.
