The Fiery Furnaces

The Fiery Furnaces, a brother-sister duo hailing from Chicago and now ensconced in New York City, are true chameleons. They're playful, twisted, adventurous, entertaining, daring and completely unique. Listening to a Fiery Furnaces record, with all of tis elaborate lyrical themes, musical twists and intricate production, is a special experience. Gorgeous melodies give way to Matthew Friedberger's solemn piano solos or creepy synthesizers only to reappear later at the most perfect moment. Their signature is their wealth of influences, their epic sonic tapestries, wandering narratives and Eleanor Friedberger's striking vocals.
