![[Album Review/Listen] – Eleanor Friedberger – "Last Summer"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3635067_lg.jpg)
Tweet Buy the album - Vinyl / MP3 / CD The Fiery Furnaces are never happy to make the same record twice, even though in 2009 they did exactly that: "Take Me Round Again", the second album they released that year, consisted of individually recorded covers of songs that Eleanor and Matthew Friedbgerger had already released as a band on "I'm Going [...]
Fiery Furnaces' Eleanor Friedberger / Photo by Michael Alan Goldberg Just today before The Fiery Furnaces performed there in the beautiful coastal city of St. Malo in Brittany at L'Omnibus (La Route du Rock), they were seen by a select few here in the video performing a small intimate set backstage. They are currently touring to support their recently released, " Im Going Away " LP. [...]
The Fiery Furnances acaban de presentar el vídeo del nuevo sencillo de su producción I´m Going Away , el tema "Even In The Rain" . Para éste, el grupo decidió burlarse un poco y hacer una especie de detrás de cámaras de una película, comenzando una escena en la que Peter Fonda llama a Dennis Hopper para proponerle grabar una road movie , la cual no es otra que la famosa Easy Rider de 1969. El resultado es un vídeo bien hecho y que resulta bastante gracioso. [...]
Dopo la pubblicazione del doppio live che ha sancito la fine di una fase di carriera, tornano i due Friedberger, Matthew ed Eleanor, fratello e sorella, meglio conosciuti come The Fiery Furnaces. I'm Going Away, pubblicato dalla Thrill Jockey e che rivede in formazione Jason Lowenstein al basso e Robert D'Amico alla batteria, è un [...]
Keeping in stride with their former albums, I'm Going Away is a playful and spastic collage of eclectic throwbacks and sporadic ragtime jingles. Littered with punk notes and surreal, jerky, sing-a-longs, this album is bit too emotionally guarded and at times plagued with annoyingly repetitive choruses (i.e. "Take Me Round Again"). Reminds us of: The Dirty Projectors | Mates of State | The Dresden Dolls The Fiery Furnaces: ( official / myspace ) [...]
Sibling duo transcends old-fashioned 'with-audio' album-making
Yes, you read that correctly. According to Pitchfork.com , the Brooklyn via Chicago art-rock sibling outfit The Fiery Furnaces are set to release a cover album of their latest effort I'm Going Away ...with a twist. Furnaces' masterminds Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger will each release their own version of the guitar and piano rock-driven I'm Going Away , which was easily their most accessible and stream-lined release . Knowing these two's penchant for difficult, usually keyboard or organ driven, art rock mash ups, these new I'm Going [...]
Menos experimentales a lo de costumbre, The Fiery Furnaces presentan la pegadiza " Charmine Champagne ", el primer sencillo de su recién lanzado I'm Going Away , que ya es el octavo disco de estudio en su haber. El video fue dirigido por Phillip Niemeyer y muestra al par neoyorkino —Matthew y Eleanor— dentro de las animaciones multicolores de los brooklynescos (sic) edificios departamentales.

Before their latest release, I'm Going Away , The Fiery Furnaces' last record was an over-stuffed 51-track, song spliced and mind numbing live album titled Remember . And before that was 2007's hodgepodge of fuzzy guitars, psychedelic organs and off-kilter melodies, Widow City . So while the term "experimental" might be played out as a musical descriptor, The Fiery Furnaces hardly went out of their way to do anything near the realm of normal. Until now, that is. The Fiery Furnaces seem to have [...]
The Fiery Furnaces are back with the new album I'm Going Away and positive reviews are flooding in. Could this finally be the album to lift them to the next level? "It's probably a good thing that Jack White has so many side projects going on right now. This way he might not be offended when fans of the White Stripes realize that the Fiery Furnaces have claimed the throne as the reigning power house duo of indie rock. However, I'm Going Away doesn't just fill in the shoes of Jack and Meg, [...]
[mp3] Fiery Furnaces: "Keep Me In The Dark" [mp3] Fiery Furnaces: "The End is Near" We were a little slow picking up on this album, as we were never really massive fans of this band who have done well to establish themselves as stalwarts of the indie-rock scene. Yet, there is something about the Fiery Furnaces' new album I'm Going Away that's beguilingly charming and accesible -- even more so than previous efforts. It's [...]

The Fiery Furnaces have made their career with bizarre, off-kilter, ADD alternative music. So one can only come into a new album with zero expectations. But as the metaphorical needle drops on the title track of their latest LP, I'm Going Away , a surprising thing is immediately noticeable– it sounds almost normal. But far from being a letdown, the Fiery Furnaces prove on I'm Going Away that they can do simple. Or at least what they might consider simple. Almost every track is a winner in my book. They're not standout singles [...]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars It's hard to follow The Fiery Furnaces , as their genre hopping and musical expeditions tend to lead followers in several directions, occasionally at the same time. However, you'd be reluctant not to notice the prolific output of the group, and their continuous relevance musically. Their latest album, I'm Going Away , is chocked full of deviating paths and piano-laden hooks. I'm Going Away beings with a song referencing the title, but it's more of a statement song, [...]
The Fiery Furnaces will be celebrating their 10 year anniversary as a band next year, and if their latest release, "I'm Going Away" is any indication, they have a lot to celebrate. I first discovered this Brooklyn based band, originally formed by brother and sister duo Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger, in 2006 when they opened [...]
The Fiery Furnaces - I'm Going Away Release Date - July 21st, 2009 Label - Thrill Jockey 5.9 ZACH THAT: I guess the critics finally won. Over the last seven years, The Fiery Furnaces have brilliantly evolved through their six studio albums. They started off as a southern twang rock band and mastered the electro sound, proving that "weird" can be high art. To give some context [...]
Eighth album "I'm Going Away" (July 21) from Chicago-raised, Brooklyn-based indie rock stalwarts The Fiery Furnaces is, according to the band, "more Taxi than Titanic " in both scope and style -- an album that is to be their most "accessible" and "simple" album ever. Led by brother and sister team Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger, the Furnaces have kept things pretty edgy and experimental since their launch in 2000, veering from banging garage rock to more poppy (comparatively speaking, of course) elements, particularly on their '06 effort Bitter Tea . The duo have always [...]

While they are quite prolific, the release of a new Fiery Furnaces album is always a personal cause for excitement. Ever since I somehow discovered their (abso-fucking-lutely amazing) opus Blueberry Boat, I have absorbed the rest of their discography and eagerly await any new creation from the Freidburgers. As great as they can be, The Fiery Furnaces aren't the most consistent, so I always approach new stuff of theirs with some trepidation. However, "The End Is Near", a track from their forthcoming record I'm Going Away captures the duo in a moment of remarkable musical [...]
