The Fiery Furnaces Episode Number: 105 Establishing themselves as one of rock music’s most consistently engaging, exciting and thought-provoking bands, The Fiery Furnaces – made up of core brother-sister duo Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger – are well-versed in creating an album that manages to balance melody, originality, and a seemingly endless arsenal of instrumental ideas. Since their debut, Gallowbird’s Bark, was released in 2003, The Fiery Furnaces have challenged the notion of what makes a song, weaving aural fragments into ten-minute-long opuses that take any number of melodic turns. Their songs often transcend categories redefining the pop song through their rapidly changing tempos and inventive sound selections- almost as quickly as Eleanor can spit out proper noun-laced lyrical gems, often so otherworldly, that they border on magical realism. While the band’s sixth LP, Widow City, is rooted in the Furnaces’ aesthetic of challenging conventional notions of timing and song structure, the record is absolutely unlike any other LP in their expansive and brilliant repertoire.  Underwritten on Alabama Public Television through the support of: University of Montevallo Thicket Magazine Omni Studio Rojo Restaurant Birmingham Weekly

Thanks for this. I ve been wanting to see their live shows and get sick of sifting through bad 2 minute hand-held phone camera youtube posts. The show is solid and gives a great service to the bands. They should pay you for this kind of promotion
