| Fiery Furnaces: Bitter Tea |
the fiery furnaces: eleanor and matt friedberger
The Fiery Furnaces return, for the most part, to their epic, unconventional, and catchy methodology on the upcoming Bitter Tea. Returning after the trying and frustrating, Rehearsing My Choir. As with much of the Fiery Furnaces output since Blueberry Boat, songs rub the wrong way on first listen, but slowly, after repeated listens, train your hair to follow the new direction it's being combed. Even Grandma makes an appearance, a backwards tracked vocal, in the song, "Oh, Sweet Woods", but fear not, Bitter Tea is traditional Fiery Furnaces. Now that phrase, 'traditional Fiery Furnaces' sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it?

If you go back and listen to the band's debut, Gallowsbird's Bark, you will appreciate it even more, at least I do, it's a fantastic debut.

wtf did fiery furnaces just send a song from the new album to each of the popular indie music blog sites? I just got a different songs from here, skatterbrain, fluxblog, STG and stereogum. Or do you guys just talk to eachother to make sure you don't post copies when an album's leaked?

The Fiery furnaces is like a minimalist version of 70 ies british band Gentle giant.
I like them very much.
These tracks are no exception.
