The Fiery Furnaces

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Restless sonic chameleons the Fiery Furnaces revolve around the brother and sister duo of Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger, whose prickly childhood relationship and musical family set the stage for their playful, unpredictable music. The Friedbergers' grandmother was a musician and choir director at a Greek Orthodox church near the family's home in Oak Park, IL; their mother, who had a penchant for Gilbert & Sullivan, played piano and guitar and sang; and throughout school, Matthew played standup bass. While the Friedbergers weren't the closest of siblings gro...[more]

 

 

Bitter Tea is the latest installment from the Brooklyn based Fiery Furnaces. The multi-instrumental brother and sister duo continue with their eclectic backdrop of experimental yet undeniably catchy melodies that set the stage perfectly for Eleanor's distinct vocals. Their diversity has garnered them a wide range of comparisons from The Who to The Band-meets-Syd Barrett... if that's any implication. [ read more ]

The amazing follow-up to their beloved, critically acclaimed debut, Gallowsbird's Bark. Matthew Friedberger, one half of the brother-sister folk-pop duo, describes Blueberry Boat as sounding like 'a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant pit orchestra.' But better. A lot better. Here the Furnaces give us 74 minutes of charming, catchy, clunky, sprawling, saloon-piano-heavy, pop-psych mini-epics, some clocking in at eight minutes.

While the Fiery Furnaces arrived in a music scene teeming with bands formed by brothers and sisters (or, at least, by people who claim to be) and bands from New York, on their debut album, Gallowsbird's Bark, this brother-and-sister-led group from New York manages to avoid the pitfalls that those superficial similarities suggest. It's true that garage rock and post-punk form the foundations of the band's style, but the Fiery Furnaces' loose-limbed music also incorporates folk, blues, an   [ read more ]

This Brooklyn group is led by Eleanor and Matthew Friedberger, who claim to be brother and sister. Unlike the White Stripes, who also say they're siblings, these two seem to be telling the truth, and they have the nonchalant stage demeanor to prove it. They generally ignore each other, the way only a brother and sister would. The album coheres around an unusual indie-rock instrument: the piano. There are angular ballads and off-kilter punk rants, and Ms. Friedberger delivers her lyrics with tight-lipped fer   [ read more ]

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 - idea   [ read more ]
